Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon

  • 2 fillets Salmon (skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (can be substituted with olive oil)
  • 3 tablespoons Honey (maple syrup can be used as a vegan alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (tamari is a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha (adjust amount for desired heat)

For the Bowl

  • 1 cup Brown Rice (quinoa or cauliflower rice can be substituted)
  • 1 Avocado (ripe for best texture)
  • 1 cup Cucumber (any variety, especially English cucumber)

For the Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro (can substitute with parsley)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (fresh lime is best)
  • 1 tablespoon Light Mayo (plain yogurt can be used for lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (adds color and smokiness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the salmon.
  2. Prepare Salmon Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon fillets with avocado oil, honey, soy sauce, and sriracha. Gently toss all ingredients together to ensure the salmon is evenly coated in the glaze.
  3. Roast Salmon: Spread the marinated salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to cook through.
  4. Broil for Finish: Switch the oven to broil mode and broil the salmon for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to caramelize the glaze and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
  5. Make the Creamy Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together light mayo, fresh lime juice, and paprika until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Prepare Cucumber Salad: Dice the avocado and cucumber and combine them in another bowl. Add olive oil, chopped cilantro, and lime juice, then toss gently to combine the flavors.
  7. Cook Brown Rice: Cook the brown rice according to package instructions until tender, then fluff with a fork.
  8. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, first layer the cooked brown rice, then add the roasted salmon on top. Next, add the cucumber and avocado salad alongside. Drizzle the creamy lime paprika sauce over the bowl or serve on the side.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor experience.
  • Prepare the cucumber salad and creamy sauce in advance to expedite meal assembly.
  • Adjust sriracha according to your spice preference for mild to medium heat.
  • Salmon can be substituted with other firm fish fillets if desired.
  • Brown rice can be swapped with quinoa or cauliflower rice to customize carb content.
