Ingredients

Units Scale

For the salmon:

  • 1 pound skinless salmon fillets (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)

For the coconut rice:

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the bowls:

  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • Sesame seeds and lime wedges for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the salmon: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Add salmon cubes and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Cook the coconut rice: Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing.
  3. Sear the salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated salmon in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, or until caramelized and cooked through.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide coconut rice between bowls. Top with salmon, shredded carrots, avocado slices, cucumber, and green onions. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute brown rice or quinoa for the coconut rice.
  • Add edamame, pickled onions, or spicy mayo for extra flavor.
  • Leftover salmon is great cold or reheated for meal prep.
