Bang Bang Salmon Bowls
Ingredients:
For the Salmon
2 pounds salmon, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 green onions, thinly sliced
For Serving
Jasmine rice, cooked
1 cup sliced cucumbers
1 large carrot, finely grated
For the Bang Bang Sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup sweet Thai chili sauce
2 teaspoons sriracha
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions:
Start with the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth and creamy. Set it aside. It’s sweet, spicy, and absolutely delicious.
Season the salmon generously with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until beautifully golden and just cooked through. Scatter the sliced green onions over the warm salmon.
Spoon warm jasmine rice into serving bowls. Add the cucumbers and grated carrots for a little freshness and crunch. Top with the golden salmon, then drizzle everything generously with the bang bang sauce.
