Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 pounds salmon, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons sriracha
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
Cooked rice or greens for the base
Avocado slices
Cucumber slices
Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, and soy sauce to create the glaze. Set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned on one side.
Pour the prepared glaze over the salmon. Toss gently to coat all the pieces.
Continue cooking for another 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly around the fish.
Assemble your bowls: Place a serving of cooked rice or greens in each bowl.
Top the base with the glazed salmon bites.
Arrange avocado slices and cucumber slices around the salmon.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For a crispier texture, you can bake the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes before tossing it with the sauce.
This recipe is excellent for meal prep; store the sauce and salmon separately from the fresh vegetables until ready to eat.
Adjust the sriracha amount to control the level of spice in your final dish.
