Pan-seared salmon with sweet-spicy glaze over rice with fresh veggies and creamy mayo.

# What You'll Need:

→ For the Salmon

01 - 4 salmon fillets, skinless, approximately 5.3 ounces each
02 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
03 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Honey Sriracha Glaze

04 - 3 tablespoons honey
05 - 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
06 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
08 - 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
09 - 1 garlic clove, minced

→ For the Bowl

10 - 2 cups jasmine rice
11 - 2.5 cups water
12 - 1 cup shelled edamame, steamed or thawed
13 - 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
14 - 2 ripe avocados, sliced
15 - 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, optional
16 - 2 green onions, sliced, optional

→ Sriracha Mayo

17 - 1/3 cup mayonnaise
18 - 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
19 - 1 teaspoon lime juice

# How to Make It:

01 - Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
03 - In another small bowl, combine honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix until well incorporated.
04 - Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until nearly cooked through.
05 - Reduce heat to low. Pour honey sriracha glaze over salmon fillets. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, spooning sauce over fillets until glazed and cooked through. Remove from heat.
06 - Divide cooked jasmine rice among 4 serving bowls. Arrange edamame, cucumber slices, and avocado on top of rice. Place one glazed salmon fillet in each bowl.
07 - Drizzle sriracha mayo over each bowl. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The glaze is sweet, spicy, and sticky in all the right ways—it clings to the salmon and makes you want to scrape every drop from the bowl.
  • Everything comes together in 35 minutes flat, yet it tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • It's one of those bowls that works for weeknight dinners and impressing guests without breaking a sweat.
02 -
  • The salmon will continue cooking slightly after you remove it from heat, so don't cook it completely through in the pan or it'll dry out once the residual heat kicks in.
  • Fresh lime juice makes an enormous difference—it brightens the whole dish and prevents the sriracha from tasting one-note.
03 -
  • Buy salmon from a reputable fishmonger and ask specifically if it's sushi-grade or suitable for quick cooking—this guarantees better texture and flavor than supermarket salmon.
  • Make the sriracha mayo ahead of time so it's ready to drizzle, and store it in the fridge in a squeeze bottle for easy application.
