Description

Delicious Bang Bang Salmon bowls featuring fresh salmon, colorful veggies, and a tangy sauce for a healthy weeknight meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb Fresh Salmon (or shrimp or chicken)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt (sea salt recommended)
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground is best)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice (or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 1 cup Cucumber
  • 1/2 cup Green Onions
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro


Instructions

  1. Combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Whisk until smooth, and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon generously with salt and black pepper.
  3. Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip gently. Continue cooking until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Prepare the rice while the salmon cooks. Arrange the shredded carrots and cucumber in serving bowls.
  5. Serve the cooked salmon atop the rice and vegetables, drizzling with the prepared sauce.
  6. Finish by sprinkling green onions and cilantro on top.
