Description

A quick and easy bowl that combines sweet and savory flavors with protein and veggies, ready in just 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Salmon and Glaze

  • 2 fillets Salmon (Use skinless fillets)
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (Can be substituted with olive oil)
  • 3 tablespoons Honey (Maple syrup can be used as a vegan alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Tamari is a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (Adjust amount for desired heat)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (Adds color and smokiness)

Rice and Vegetables

  • 1 cup Brown Rice (Quinoa or cauliflower rice can be substituted)
  • 1 fruit Avocado (Ensure it’s ripe for best texture)
  • 1 cup Cucumber (Any variety, especially English cucumber)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Extra virgin recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro (Can substitute with parsley)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (Fresh lime is best)

Lime Mayo

  • 1 tablespoon Light Mayo (Plain yogurt can be used for lighter option)


Instructions

Preparation

  1. Rinse 1 cup of brown rice and cook it according to package directions. Salt the water lightly.
  2. While the rice cooks, mix glaze: combine 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sriracha in a small bowl. Taste and adjust heat if you like.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry. Season very lightly with salt and the 1 teaspoon paprika.

Cooking

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the salmon and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side until golden. Flip.
  2. Spoon half the glaze over each fillet. Cook another 2 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness, until the glaze is sticky and the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
  3. While the salmon cooks, slice 1 avocado and chop 1 cup cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Toss them gently with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons cilantro, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Mix a quick lime mayo: stir 1 tablespoon light mayo with a teaspoon or two of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and a little water to loosen if needed.

Serving

  1. To build bowls: spoon rice into bowls, add the avocado-cucumber mix, place a glazed salmon fillet on top, and drizzle the lime mayo. Finish with any remaining glaze if you like a stronger sweet soy flavor.

Notes

This bowl is perfect for a weeknight meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Avocado softens, so slice fresh if needed later.
