1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

Honey Sriracha Sauce

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic (minced)

Bowl Base

2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)

Veggies

1 cup cucumber (sliced)
1 cup shredded carrots
1 avocado (sliced)
½ cup edamame or steamed broccoli (optional)

Optional Toppings

Sesame seeds
Green onions
Extra sriracha drizzle

How to Make Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet over medium heat.

Season salmon with salt and pepper.

Mix honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and garlic in a small bowl.

Heat olive oil in a pan or place salmon on a baking tray. Cook salmon for 10–12 minutes (or pan-sear 4–5 minutes per side).

During the last few minutes, brush salmon with the honey sriracha sauce and let it caramelize slightly.

How to Assemble the Bowls

Add rice to each bowl. Top with glazed salmon, cucumber, carrots, avocado, and edamame.

Drizzle extra sauce on top and sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions.

How to Serve

Serve warm or at room temperature. Add extra lime juice for freshness.

Tips for Best Results

Don’t overcook salmon to keep it juicy. Brush sauce in the final minutes for a sticky glaze. Adjust sriracha for spice level. Use fresh vegetables for crunch.

Variations

Use chicken or shrimp instead of salmon. Make it low-carb with cauliflower rice. Add mango for a sweet twist. Turn it into lettuce wraps instead of bowls.

Storage and Meal Prep

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep sauce separate for best texture. Reheat salmon gently before serving.

Final Thoughts

Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls are a perfect balance of sweet heat, fresh veggies, and protein-rich salmon. They’re quick, healthy, and absolutely delicious for any day of the week.
