👩‍🍳 Instructions – How to Make Salmon Rice Bowls

Step 1: Cook the Salmon

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place salmon on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. Let rest for a few minutes, then flake into large chunks.

Step 2: Prepare Your Bowl Ingredients

While the salmon bakes, cook your rice (if not already done) and prep the toppings: shred carrots, slice cucumbers, avocado, and any additional vegetables you’re using.

Step 3: Make the Spicy Mayo

Mix mayo, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

1. Start with a base of rice in each bowl.
2. Top with flaked salmon, veggies, avocado, and pickled onions.
3. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.

Serve warm or chilled — either way, it’s delicious!

💡 Tips & Tricks

• No fresh salmon? Use canned or leftover cooked salmon. Just season and warm before adding to your bowl.
• Make it low-carb by swapping rice for cauliflower rice or shredded cabbage.
• Add extra crunch with chopped peanuts, crispy onions, or seaweed snacks.
• Want even more flavor? Add a drizzle of teriyaki sauce, ponzu, or a squeeze of lemon.
• These bowls are great for meal prep! Store ingredients separately and assemble when ready to eat.

🧡 From Me to You: My Extra Touch

I love creating a little “salmon bowl bar” when serving guests — rice in one bowl, toppings in small ramekins, and sauces ready to drizzle. It’s interactive, fun, and makes everyone feel like they’re getting a customized dish. Try offering a few topping options like edamame, mango cubes, or kimchi to take your bowls to the next level!

You can also serve this in a bento-style box for an elevated lunch experience.
