Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Glaze
- 4 4-6 ounce skinless salmon filets (cut into cubes)
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha
Rice Bowl Base
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 medium avocado (cubed)
- 1 cup diced cucumber
Cilantro Lime Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/3 cup light mayo
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Cut the skinless salmon filets into cubes of roughly equal size to ensure even cooking.
- Make the Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon sriracha until fully combined to create a sweet and spicy glaze.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the salmon is opaque and cooked through. During the last minute, brush the honey glaze onto the salmon to coat it well and allow it to caramelize slightly.
- Prepare the Cilantro Lime Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine 1/3 cup light mayo, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice plus an additional 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons honey, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide 2 cups cooked brown rice into serving bowls. Top each portion with cooked honey glazed salmon cubes, cubed avocado, and diced cucumber.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the cilantro lime sauce over the ingredients in each bowl. Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.
Notes

- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
