Ingredients
1 cup jasmine rice, uncooked
2 cups water
1 1/4 pounds salmon fillets, skin removed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cucumber, diced
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup shredded carrots
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha for the sauce
1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Rinse the jasmine rice and cook it with the water according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. Cut the salmon into bite sized cubes and place them in a bowl.
3. Add the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, sesame oil, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the salmon. Toss gently to coat and let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Spread the salmon pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and lightly caramelized at the edges.
7. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon sriracha until smooth.
8. Divide the warm rice among 4 serving bowls.
9. Top each bowl with salmon, cucumber, avocado, shredded carrots, and green onions.
10. Drizzle with spicy mayo and finish with sesame seeds and lime wedges before serving.
Notes
Tender salmon works best when it is not overcooked, so start checking it at the 8 minute mark.
Pat the salmon dry before marinating so the seasoning clings better and the edges caramelize nicely.
For meal prep, keep the fresh toppings and spicy mayo separate until serving so everything stays crisp and fresh.
