Ingredients
- 2 (6 oz / 170g) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 tbsp high-smoke-point oil (e.g., avocado, grapeseed)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup sriracha
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 cups cooked rice (sushi rice, brown rice, or quinoa)
- 1 cup steamed or sautéed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, edamame, bell peppers)
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions, for garnish
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Salmon: Pat salmon fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the glaze for drizzling.
- 3. Cook Salmon (Pan-Sear): Heat oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-6 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip, brush with remaining glaze, and cook for another 2-4 minutes until cooked through (internal temp 145°F / 63°C).
- 4. Cook Salmon (Bake): Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then brush with glaze and bake for another 3-5 minutes until cooked through.
- 5. Prepare Sides: While salmon cooks, prepare rice according to package directions and steam or sauté your chosen vegetables until tender-crisp.
- 6. Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked rice among two bowls. Top with cooked vegetables and a glazed salmon fillet. Drizzle with reserved glaze, then garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
