Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably jasmine or sushi rice)
  • 1 lb salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking your rice according to the package instructions. If you have leftover rice, this dish is perfect for using it up!
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil. Adjust the spice level according to your taste!
  3. Lightly pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it’s cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Assembly
  1. Fluff the cooked rice and place a generous portion in a bowl. Top with the cooked salmon and drizzle with the creamy sesame mayo sauce.
  2. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for an added crunch and a pop of color.
  3. Serve your spicy salmon rice bowl warm and enjoy all the layers of flavor in every delicious bite!

Notes

For substitutions, try using chicken or tofu for a different take. Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking for a quicker process. Ensure your salmon is completely thawed before cooking to avoid uneven cooking. Store leftovers in airtight containers.
