Ingredients
- For the Salmon:
- 2 salmon fillets 4-6 oz each
- 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- For the Bowl:
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or brown rice

- For the Lime Drizzle Optional:
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat if pan-searing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and garlic powder.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them on a baking sheet (if baking) or in the heated skillet (if pan-searing).
- Brush the salmon generously with the sweet chili sauce mixture.
- If Baking: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- If Pan-Searing: Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing with sauce as it cooks.
- Assemble the Bowl:
- Divide the cooked rice between two bowls.
- Arrange the shredded carrots, cucumber slices, edamame, and avocado around the edges of the rice.
- Place the cooked salmon fillet on top of the rice.
- Prepare the Lime Drizzle (Optional):
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and sesame oil. Drizzle over the bowl for added flavor.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Customizations: Substitute rice with quinoa, cauliflower rice, or mixed greens for a lower-carb option.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the salmon and vegetables separate to maintain freshness.
- Extra Kick: Add a drizzle of Sriracha or sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat.
