These Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls are sweet, spicy, and packed with flavor, perfect for a quick and easy dinner! With only 20 minutes of active prep and cook time, this recipe is ideal for busy nights or meal prepping.

Ingredients

Salmon: I recommend using wild-caught salmon, cut into 1-inch cubes for extra crispiness.
Marinade: A mix of soy sauce or tamari, honey, sriracha, garlic, and water. For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or extra sriracha.
Rice: White rice works well, but feel free to use brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.

Veggies: Sliced cucumber and edamame are great here, but you can also add spinach, kale, or roasted broccoli.
Avocado: Adds a creamy contrast to the spicy salmon.

Instructions

Marinate the Salmon: Whisk together all marinade ingredients, then add the salmon and let it marinate for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Cook the Salmon: Heat a large skillet with oil. Add the marinated salmon (reserving the sauce) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy. Pour in the remaining marinade and cook until the sauce thickens.
Assemble the Bowls: Serve salmon over rice or quinoa. Top with cucumber, edamame, avocado, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes.

Air Fryer Option: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F, cook the salmon for 7-9 minutes, and prepare the sauce separately on the stovetop.

Storage Tips: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve cold or reheat as a stir fry. For best results, avoid freezing cooked salmon as the texture may change.

Ingredients

For the Salmon

4 salmon fillets (4–6 ounces each), cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons sriracha
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons water

For the Bowls
2 cups cooked white rice
1 avocado, sliced

1 cucumber, sliced
1 cup cooked edamame
½ cup sriracha mayo

Directions

Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes, removing the skin if desired.

Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, and water.
Marinate: Add the salmon to the bowl and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour for best flavor.
Cook the Salmon: Heat a large skillet with a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the salmon cubes (reserving the remaining marinade) and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy.

Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the salmon.
Assemble the Bowls: Start with a bed of rice, then layer on the cooked salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, and edamame. Drizzle with sriracha mayo, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds if desired.
