  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup steamed edamame

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Salmon:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, and ginger.
    • Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and coat with the marinade.
    • Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Salmon: Oven Method:
    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

    Skillet Method:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Mayo:
    • In a small bowl, mix together kewpie mayo, sriracha, ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce.
    • Stir until smooth and set aside.
  4. Assemble the Bowls:
    • In each bowl, add a base of steamed rice.
    • Top with salmon, sliced cucumbers, avocado, and edamame.
    • Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
    • Serve with nori sheets if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best taste.

  • Marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance flavor.
  • Store components separately for meal prep and assemble fresh.
