Ingredients
Roasted Salmon
- 10-12 oz Salmon (skin on or skinless)
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup Cooking Oil (I used Olive)
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
- 1 cup Rice
- ½ cup Rice Edamame (deshelled)
Quick Marinated Cucumber and Carrot Salad
- ½ cup Carrots (shredded)
- 1 cucumber Cucumber
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- ¼ cup Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- Salt and Pepper
Creamy Spicy Sauce
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sriracha
Toppings (optional)
- Avocado
- Nori (dried seaweed)
- Sesame Seeds
- Green Onions
Instructions
- Start by making your salmon marinade by mixing the soy sauce, honey, oil, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. If your salmon is skinless, cut your salmon into cubes. If your salmon has the skin on, cut it into cubes without cutting through the skin. You can easily separate the skin from the salmon after the salmon is cooked.
- Marinate your salmon and cover in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 12 hrs.
- To make your quick marinated cucumber and carrot salad. Peel and cut your cucumber. Shred your carrots. To make the marinade mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Add in the cucumbers and carrots and toss. Cover and store in the refrigerator for later.
- Start your rice, cooking as you prefer (I use a rice cooker). If you are using an air fryer to cook your salmon space the pieces out evenly along with the edamame, and air fry at 400 degrees F for 16 minutes. If you are using the oven preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and cook for 16-20 minutes. Check your edamame after 10 minutes and remove them if they begin to brown, they will cook faster than the salmon.
- To make the creamy spicy sauce mix the mayo, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha in a small bowl. set aside for later.
- Assemble your salmon bowl with the rice, salmon, edamame, cucumber and carrot salad, and creamy spicy. Optional toppings include avocado, sesame seeds, nori, and green onions.
Notes
Marinating your salmon will give you the most flavor, if you are short on time, you can cook the salmon immediately after tossing in the marinade. Feel free to add your favorite toppings and sauces.
