Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Rice
- In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice with water (or broth) and a splash of soy sauce, if using. Bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fluffy. Fluff it up with a fork once done!
Preparing the Bang Bang Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Give it a quick whisk until everything is nicely combined. Taste and adjust as needed.
Cooking the Salmon
- While the rice is cooking, season your salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness) until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked through.
Assembling the Bowls
- Start with a generous scoop of rice as your base, top with the crispy salmon, and then layer on the cucumber, avocado, shredded carrots, and green onions. Drizzle the bang bang sauce all over to enhance the flavor, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for the finishing touch!
Notes
Feel free to switch protein types or sauté your veggies for different textures. You can also make the rice and sauce ahead of time for an easier dinner prep.
