Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into cubes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • For the bowls:
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice

  • 1 cucumber, sliced

  • Optional spicy mayo:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic to prepare the glaze.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook salmon in a single layer for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy outside and cooked through.
  5. Reduce heat slightly, pour glaze over salmon, and cook 1–2 minutes until thickened and coating the salmon. Remove from heat.
  6. If using, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice to make spicy mayo.
  7. Divide cooked rice among serving bowls.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon is dry before cooking for maximum crispiness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve a proper sear.
  • Bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes as an alternative to pan-searing.
  • Store salmon and rice separately from fresh toppings.
  • Cooked salmon can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Adjust sriracha to control spice level.
