How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls:

1. Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. If you prefer, you can remove the skin (it’s edible, but some people don’t like it). A little tip: using kitchen shears makes it easier to remove the skin from the salmon!
2. In a large bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients: soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water. Whisking ensures all the ingredients are fully combined.
3. Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and let them marinate for up to 1 hour, but ideally at least 20 minutes. The longer the salmon marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Remember to marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for food safety!
4. Once the salmon is done marinating, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add the salmon cubes to the skillet, reserving the remaining marinade for later. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice crisp. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary!
5. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet with the cooked salmon. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. The sauce will thicken as it reduces.
6. Assemble your bowls with a bed of cooked rice. Add the honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame. Get creative with the arrangement of the ingredients in your bowls!
7. Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the bowls and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds, if desired. Adjust the amount of sriracha mayo to your liking.
8. Serve the Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls immediately and enjoy!
