- For the Salmon: 4 salmon fillets (about 150 g each, skinless), 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, salt and black pepper to taste.
- Honey Sriracha Glaze: 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 garlic clove (minced).
- For the Bowl: 2 cups jasmine rice, 2 1/2 cups water, 1 cup shelled edamame (steamed or thawed), 1 large cucumber (thinly sliced), 2 ripe avocados (sliced), 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional), 2 green onions (sliced, optional).
- Sriracha Mayo: 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, 1 teaspoon lime juice.
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the Rice
- Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Step 2: Prepare the Sriracha Mayo
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until the mixture is smooth. Set aside for serving.
- Step 3: Make the Glaze
- In another small bowl, combine the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, and minced garlic to create the honey sriracha glaze.
- Step 4: Sear the Salmon
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until nearly cooked through.
- Step 5: Glaze the Fish
- Reduce the heat to low. Pour the honey sriracha glaze over the salmon. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets until the salmon is beautifully glazed and fully cooked.
- Step 6: Assemble the Bowls
- Divide the fluffed jasmine rice among 4 bowls. Arrange the edamame, cucumber slices, and avocado slices on top. Place one glazed salmon fillet into each bowl.
- Step 7: Final Garnish
- Drizzle the bowls with the prepared sriracha mayo. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired, and serve immediately.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure your rice is perfectly fluffy, never skip the rinsing step, as this removes excess starch. When glazing the salmon, keep the heat low to prevent the honey from burning, which ensures a smooth, sticky finish rather than a bitter one. Use a nonstick skillet to make cleaning up the sticky sauce much easier.
