Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine honey and Sriracha until well mixed to create the glaze.
- Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then brush generously with the honey Sriracha glaze.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and the glaze is caramelized.
- While salmon bakes, prepare the rice and slice your veggies.
- Assemble the bowls with rice, avocado, carrots, cucumber, and green onions. Top with salmon, drizzle extra glaze if desired, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Notes
Try marinating the salmon in the honey Sriracha sauce for 30 minutes before baking to deepen the flavor. You can also switch up the veggies seasonally with options like snap peas or bell peppers. Leftover salmon makes a great protein addition to salads the next day.
