Ingredients

For the Salmon

  • 500g fresh salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Honey Sriracha Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

For the Bowls

  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1 cup edamame
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon

Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and cut into bite-sized cubes.

In a large bowl, toss the salmon with paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch until evenly coated.

The cornstarch helps create a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.

Step 2: Cook the Salmon

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the salmon pieces in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Transfer cooked salmon to a plate.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and sesame oil.

Pour the sauce into the skillet and simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Return the salmon to the pan and toss gently until fully coated in the sticky glaze.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

Divide cooked jasmine rice among serving bowls.

Top with cucumber, avocado, shredded carrot, edamame, and glazed salmon.

Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Serve immediately.

Pro Tips

  • Use fresh salmon instead of frozen for the best texture.
  • Don’t move the salmon too early while cooking or it won’t crisp properly.
  • Adjust the sriracha depending on your spice preference.
  • Add mango or pickled onions for extra flavor.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover salmon separately from fresh vegetables for best texture.

Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 2 days.

Reheat salmon gently in a skillet or air fryer.
