Ingredients
  

For the salmon and glaze
  • 2 fillets salmon fillets (about 6–8 oz each) skin on or off depending on preference
  • 3 tablespoons honey reduce to 2 tbsp for lower-sugar option
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional, for depth
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger optional
For the bowls
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, jasmine, or short-grain rice or cooked quinoa/brown rice
  • 2 cups mixed greens or baby spinach or shredded cabbage for crunch
  • 1 cup seasonal vegetables asparagus, snap peas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or corn kernels
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts
  • 1 lime cut into wedges for serving
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chili flakes optional, for extra heat

Method
 

Prep
  1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing rice and vegetables.
  2. Cook rice according to package directions (or use a rice cooker). Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  3. Whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar (or lime), minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Taste and adjust balance.
  4. Reserve a tablespoon of the glaze before glazing the salmon to drizzle atop finished bowls.
Cooking the salmon
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment and place salmon skin-side down.
  2. Brush each fillet generously with the honey-sriracha glaze (not the reserved spoonful). Roast for 8–12 minutes depending on thickness.
  3. For a darker top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Vegetables & Assembly
  1. Sauté or roast the seasonal vegetables until bright and tender.
  2. Build bowls by layering rice, a handful of greens, vegetables, and a salmon fillet.
  3. Drizzle with the reserved honey-sriracha sauce, sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds, and finish with a lime wedge.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For freezing, wrap cooked glazed salmon tightly for up to 1 month. Make-ahead glaze and rice for convenience. Adjust sriracha level to taste.
