Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 sheet seaweed strips (optional)

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add the salmon cubes to a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the salmon pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until cooked through and lightly crisp around the edges.
  4. While the salmon cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly among serving bowls.
  6. Top each bowl with baked salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions.
  7. Drizzle the spicy sauce over the bowls and garnish with sesame seeds and optional seaweed strips before serving.

Notes

For the best texture, pat the salmon dry before seasoning and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level. Add avocado and cucumber just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp. These bowls are excellent for meal prep when the components are stored separately.
