Ingredients for Sweet Chili Salmon Bowl

Salmon & Sauce:

  • 4 salmon fillets (4–6 oz each, skinless)
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for pan-searing

Base:

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or quinoa

Vegetables & Garnishes:

  • 1 small cucumber, sliced
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup edamame, shelled and steamed
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Lime wedges for serving

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Pickled ginger, sliced jalapeños, or extra sweet chili sauce for more flavor

Instructions

1. Marinate the Salmon

Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and coat with sweet chili sauce. Let them marinate for 15–20 minutes to soak in the flavors.

2. Cook the Salmon

Pan-Searing: Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through and flaky.

Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes.

Grilling: Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill salmon 4–6 minutes per side.

Pro Tip: Avoid overcooking—salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for perfect tenderness.

3. Prepare the Base & Veggies

Cook your rice or quinoa according to package instructions and fluff with a fork. Slice and prep vegetables: cucumber, carrots, bell pepper, and edamame.

4. Assemble the Bowls

  1. Scoop rice or quinoa into bowls.
  2. Place a salmon fillet on top.
  3. Arrange vegetables around the salmon for color and balance.
  4. Garnish with avocado, green onions, sesame seeds, and a lime wedge.
  5. Drizzle extra sweet chili sauce on top if desired.

Serve warm for a wholesome, flavorful meal.
