For the Salmon

For the Bowls

Method
 

Marinate the Salmon:
  1. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, grated garlic, and ginger in a bowl.
  2. Cut the salmon into 1 ½-inch cubes and coat them in the marinade.
  3. Let marinate for 20-30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
Prepare the Spicy Mayo:
  1. Mix kewpie mayonnaise, sriracha, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, and soy sauce until smooth.
  2. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cook the Salmon:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the salmon cubes on the sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Broil for 1-2 minutes to add a light char.
Assemble the Bowls:
  1. Divide steamed jasmine rice among four bowls.
  2. Top with salmon, cucumber slices, avocado, steamed edamame, and sesame seeds.
  3. Drizzle with spicy mayo and serve with nori sheets.

Notes

  • Opt for fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor.
  • For meal prep, store the components separately to maintain freshness.
  • Customize the toppings with veggies like shredded carrots, radishes, or a soft-boiled egg.
  • To keep it gluten-free, use tamari in place of soy sauce.
