Ingredients
Scale
- 2 fillets Salmon (skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (or olive oil)
- 3 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (to taste)
- 1 cup Brown Rice (or quinoa/cauliflower rice)
- 1 ripe Avocado
- 1 cup Cucumber (any variety)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra virgin)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (or parsley)
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (fresh)
- 1 tablespoon Light Mayo (or plain yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
- Start by cooking the brown rice according to the package instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, so choose that as your first step.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, and Sriracha. This will be your savory-sweet glaze.
- Next, heat the avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down.
- After about 4-5 minutes, gently flip the salmon. Pour the glaze over it to let those flavors soak in. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it’s cooked through.
- While the salmon finishes, slice your avocado and cucumber. Toss the cucumber slices with olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, and paprika for a refreshing salad.
- Fluff your rice when it’s done, layer it in bowls, and top it with the salmon fillets, cucumber salad, and slices of avocado.
- For a finishing touch, drizzle a bit of light mayo on top, and serve warm. Enjoy every bite!
