Description

I am recently OBSESSED with these Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls! It is my new favorite last minute weeknight dinner. Salmon rice bowls look fancy but everything comes together so fast! A quick marinade and then a hot sear for the salmon, plus cucumbers, edamame, avocado, and sushi rice. You will feel like a super human after eating all this green stuff! Such an easy recipe.

Notes

I usually discard the marinade after searing the salmon, but if you want extra-saucy bowls, add the marinade to the hot pan after searing, and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
