Ingredients
- 1½ cups jasmine rice
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 3 cups coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1½ pounds skinless salmon fillet, cut into cubes
- 1 English cucumber, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha. Transfer to a small bag or squeeze bottle for drizzling.
- In a large bowl, toss together coleslaw mix, green onions, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Season lightly with salt and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch to make the salmon glaze.
- Pat salmon dry and season with black pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear salmon cubes for 2–3 minutes, then pour in the sauce and cook for about 30 seconds until thickened.
- Assemble each bowl with a base of rice, topped with salmon, slaw, avocado, and cucumber.
- Drizzle with sriracha mayo and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.
- Make ahead by prepping salmon, rice, and slaw in advance; add avocado and cucumber just before serving.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for mayo in the sriracha sauce for a lighter option.
- Tofu or chicken can be used instead of salmon.
- For extra crunch, top with chopped peanuts or crispy wontons.
