Description

A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining honey glazed salmon, fresh vegetables, and creamy paprika mayo, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (4-6 ounce) skinless salmon fillets, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 medium avocado, cubed
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/3 cup light mayo
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: In a large bowl, whisk together avocado oil, honey, soy sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Add the cubed salmon and gently toss to coat with the marinade. You can let it marinate for up to 30 minutes in the fridge.
  2. Cook the Salmon: Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it turns golden brown.
  3. Prepare the Base: While the salmon is cooking, toss the cooked brown rice with olive oil, lime juice, honey, and diced cucumber in a large bowl.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a scoop of the rice mixture at the bottom. Layer on the warm salmon, followed by diced avocado, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  5. Make the Paprika Mayo Sauce: In a small bowl, combine light mayo, lime juice, paprika, cumin, and honey. Stir thoroughly until well incorporated.
  6. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the creamy paprika mayo sauce over the assembled bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to switch up ingredients like using tofu instead of salmon or adding different vegetables.
