Ingredients
Salmon Marinade
- 24 ounces salmon (skin removed and cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic paste
- 2 teaspoons ginger paste
Bowl Ingredients
- 2 cups prepared sticky rice (or a blend of sticky rice and cauliflower rice)
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 2 Persian cucumbers (sliced or cut into half-moons)
- 2 small avocados (sliced)
- 1/4 cup spicy mayo (equal parts sriracha and mayo)
- Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
- Furikake (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Salmon: Remove the skin from the salmon and cut into 1-inch bite-size pieces. Place the pieces into a bowl or resealable bag.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, garlic paste, and ginger paste until well combined.
- Marinate the Salmon: Pour the marinade over the salmon pieces and gently toss to coat. Allow the salmon to marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get ready for baking the salmon.
- Bake the Salmon: Line a medium rimmed sheet pan with foil and lightly spray with avocado oil. Arrange the marinated salmon evenly on the pan. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until cooked through.
- Broil for Color: Remove the salmon from the oven, reposition the rack to the highest level, turn the broiler on, and broil the salmon for 2 minutes or until golden brown spots form on the surface.
- Assemble the Sushi Bowl: Divide the prepared sticky rice evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with baked salmon, 1/4 cup shelled edamame, 1/2 cup sliced cucumber, and half an avocado sliced.
- Add Spicy Mayo and Garnish: Drizzle each bowl with spicy mayo made from equal parts sriracha and mayonnaise. Sprinkle furikake seasoning and sliced green onions on top to finish.
Notes
- For a lower-carb option, substitute some or all of the sticky rice with cauliflower rice.
- Marinating the salmon for at least 30 minutes enhances flavor but can be done up to 2 hours in advance.
- Use coconut aminos as a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the spicy mayo to control the heat level.
- Furikake can often be found in Asian grocery stores or online; it adds a savory, umami flavor and crunch.
