Instructions

Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Cook the Salmon:
- Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Flip the fillets and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- Pour the honey sriracha glaze over the salmon. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon until it’s caramelized and sticky.
Assemble the Bowls:
- Divide the cooked rice between four bowls.
- Top with salmon fillets, then arrange cabbage, cucumber, carrot, and avocado around the salmon.
- Drizzle any extra glaze from the pan over the bowls.
Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
