A healthy and satisfying meal featuring tender salmon glazed with honey and spices, served over brown rice with fresh veggies.
Ingredients
- 4 4-6 ounce skinless salmon filets (cut into cubes)
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 medium avocado (cubed)
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro

- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon honey (for sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Toss the cubed salmon with avocado oil, honey, soy sauce (or tamari), and sriracha in a bowl.
- Spread the salmon in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Then switch the oven to broil and broil for just 2-3 minutes to crisp it up.
- Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the avocado, cucumber, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, and honey. Toss to mix well.
- When the salmon is done, assemble your bowls with a base of rice. Layer on the salmon, cucumber salad, and drizzle with the paprika mayo sauce.
- Serve warm with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Notes
For the best flavor, let the salmon marinate in the honey mixture for up to 30 minutes before cooking. You can substitute brown rice with quinoa or white rice if you prefer.
