KEY INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS SALMON RICE BOWL RECIPE

FOR THE SALMON

Soy Sauce or Tamari Sauce - This is a must in Asian inspired dishes. If you are looking for a gluten free option, use Tamari (or coconut aminos) instead of soy sauce.

Honey - Honey adds a bit of sweetness and helps the salmon to develop a nice texture.

Garlic - The garlic in this recipe is used in the marinade to add spiciness to the salmon. Make sure you mince the garlic so it is distributed evenly.

Ginger - Fresh ginger is used in this recipe and is often used in Asian dishes. We've grated ours to get the best flavor out of the ginger.

Black Pepper - Black pepper adds another element of heat to counter-balance the honey and saltiness in the marinade.

Salmon Fillets - You can use any cut of salmon you like in this dish. The salmon can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for use up to 3 days.

FOR THE RICE BOWL

White or Brown Rice - Either white rice or brown rice will work great with this recipe. Just follow the instructions on the packaging for how to prepare the rice.

Avocado - Avocados are a healthy source of fat that we love including in our recipes, and they taste so good with the flavors in this dish.

Carrots - We use shredded carrots in this recipe. You can buy shredded carrots at the grocery store for easy assembly.

Cucumber - Cucumbers are refreshing and add the perfect amount of crunch to this dish.

Mayonnaise and Sriracha- This spicy mayo is the perfect complement to this Asian dish. But don't be surprised if you find yourself adding it to everything you can find.

Green Onion (optional) - Sliced green onions are optional but add great flavor and make the presentation so nice to look at.

HOW TO MAKE THIS SALMON RICE BOWL RECIPE

Combine soy sauce (or tamari sauce), honey, garlic, ginger, and cracked pepper in a medium mixing bowl.

Add the salmon to the marinade and toss/stir until the salmon is evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with oil, or line it with foil; set aside.

Place the salmon onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the bowl over the salmon. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

To assemble the salmon rice bowl, place ½ cup cooked rice into each of the 4 bowls. You can add more rice, if you like.

Add the salmon to the top. Arrange the avocado, cucumber, and carrots around the salmon.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and sriracha until combined.

Drizzle the sauce over the salmon rice bowl. If desired, top with chopped green onion.

Serve immediately.
