Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 salmon fillets (46 ounces or 1.3 kilograms each)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
Marinade/Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use non-alcoholic alternatives like tamarind-based soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Uni-Eagle Sriracha
- 3 tablespoons water
Bowl Components:
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 sliced cucumber
- 1 cup cooked edamame
Instructions
- Transform salmon into bite-sized cubes, removing skin for optimal sauce coverage. Skin can remain for crispy texture if preferred.
- Create a vibrant marinade by whisking together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until honey fully dissolves and ingredients integrate smoothly.
- Immerse salmon cubes completely in marinade, ensuring thorough coating. Allow 20-60 minutes for flavor penetration at room temperature.
- Preheat skillet to medium heat, adding thin layer of oil. Carefully place marinated salmon pieces, reserving excess marinade. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until golden edges develop.
- Pour remaining marinade into skillet, allowing sauce to reduce and caramelize around salmon. Continue cooking until glaze thickens and becomes glossy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Construct bowls by layering warm rice as foundation. Artfully arrange glazed salmon, sliced avocado, diced cucumber, and vibrant edamame. Enhance with sriracha mayo drizzle, sprinkle sesame seeds and red pepper flakes for final flourish.
Notes
- Customize salmon size by cutting into consistent cubes for even cooking and appealing presentation.
- Remove salmon skin before marinating to help sauce penetrate more effectively and create uniform flavor absorption.
- Marinate salmon longer for deeper flavor profile, ideally between 30-60 minutes to maximize taste intensity.
- Use high-quality non-stick skillet to prevent salmon from sticking and ensure perfect golden-brown sear.
- Control spice level by adjusting sriracha quantity, making dish adaptable for different heat tolerances.
- Balance protein with additional vegetables like roasted bell peppers or pickled carrots for extra nutrition.
- Replace rice with cauliflower rice for low-carb option or quinoa for higher protein alternative.
- Opt for gluten-free soy sauce to make recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
