Ingredients
  

For the salmon
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets, approximately 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup honey Use pure honey for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce Adjust based on heat preference.
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Use low sodium if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced For best flavor, use fresh garlic.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking the salmon.
For the bowls
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 piece avocado, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds For garnish.
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lay the salmon skin-side down.
  2. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
Assembling the bowls
  1. Layer the cooked brown rice at the base of each bowl.
  2. Arrange the cucumber, shredded carrots, and avocado around the rice.
  3. Place a salmon fillet on top of the rice and vegetables. Drizzle with the reserved marinade.
  4. Top with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Marinate longer for more flavor. This marinade works wonderful with chicken or tofu as a substitute. Add nuts for extra crunch and experiment with spices for a twist.
