Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Salmon and Rice
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets Skin-on for better flavor
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown) Cook according to package instructions
For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust to spice preference
For the Toppings
  • 1 piece cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 piece avocado, sliced
  • 4 pieces green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds For garnish
  • 1 piece lime, cut into wedges For serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on the sheet, skin-side down, and drizzle them lightly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Cooking the Salmon
  1. Bake the salmon for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Making the Bang Bang Sauce
  1. While the salmon is baking, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl. Adjust the sriracha to taste.
Preparing the Rice & Toppings
  1. If you haven’t already cooked the rice, do so according to package instructions. Once done, fluff it up with a fork.
  2. Slice your cucumber and avocado, and chop the green onions.
Assembling the Bowls
  1. In a serving bowl, place a generous portion of rice as the base. Top with a salmon fillet, drizzle with the Bang Bang sauce, and layer on the cucumber, avocado, and green onions.
  2. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for that extra crunch!
Serving
  1. Garnish with lime wedges on the side. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top just before enjoying.

Notes

If you prefer, you can swap out the salmon for grilled chicken or tofu for a vegetarian version. For an extra layer of flavor, cook the rice in vegetable broth.
