Description

A quick and healthy dish featuring honey glazed salmon, fresh vegetables, and brown rice.


Ingredients

  • 4-6 ounce skinless salmon filets (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. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Toss the cubed salmon with avocado oil, honey, soy sauce (or tamari), and sriracha in a mixing bowl.
  3. Spread the seasoned salmon in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  4. Switch the oven to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp up the edges.
  5. While the salmon cooks, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce, including mayo, lime juice, paprika, cumin, and honey.
  6. In another mixing bowl, combine the avocado, cucumber, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, and honey. Toss gently.
  7. Assemble the bowls starting with brown rice, layer on roasted salmon, add cucumber salad, and drizzle with creamy paprika mayo sauce.
