Ingredients

Salmon

  • 1 1/2 lbs center-cut salmon filet, skin removed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce*
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic paste
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger or ginger paste

Spicy Mayo

  • 1/3 cup kewpie or mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger or ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Bowl Ingredients

  • 4 cups steamed rice
  • 2 Persian or baby cucumbers, cut into half moons
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, steamed
  • sesame seeds
  • nori sheets, for serving

Instructions

  • Make the marinade. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
  • Prep the salmon. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Marinate the salmon. Toss the cubed salmon with the marinade and let it marinate for 20-30 minutes, up to 8 hours.
  • Make the spicy mayo. In a small bowl, whisk together the kewpie, sriracha, ginger, soy, and sesame oil until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 F.
  • Bake the salmon. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the salmon from the marinade and spread on the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes and broil for 1-2 minutes to get a light char. Remove from the oven.
  • Assemble the bowls. Divide rice between bowls, then top with salmon, cucumbers, avocado, veggies, and any other desired toppings. Drizzle with spicy mayo and enjoy salmon rice bowls right away.
