Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup jasmine rice
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup cucumber, sliced
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving
Optional: sesame seeds or sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, honey, garlic, and ginger.
- Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with the spicy glaze. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
- While salmon bakes, rinse jasmine rice and combine it with coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- Assemble bowls by dividing coconut rice, then topping with spicy salmon, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, avocado, and cilantro.
- Garnish with lime wedges, sesame seeds, and green onions as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for different textures or lower carbs.
- Swap salmon for shrimp or tofu for variety.
- Add pickled vegetables or kimchi for extra flavor.
- Drizzle with extra spicy sauce or a creamy dressing like tzatziki.
- Include edamame or steamed broccoli for more veggies.
- Store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat rice and salmon gently in the microwave or oven; add fresh toppings after reheating.
