FOR THE SALMON:
12 to 16 oz Atlantic salmon fillet, skin removed
2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or 1 teaspoon sriracha)
FOR SERVING:
Cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
Any of the following vegetables and toppings:
Shelled edamame, lightly salted
Steamed broccoli or broccolini
Mushrooms sautéed with soy sauce or coconut aminos
Snow peas, lightly steamed or raw
Sliced avocado
Sliced cucumber
Shredded carrots
Sliced green onions and/or pickled red onions
Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (for garnish)
Prepare the Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Marinate the Salmon:
Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the fish and let it marinate for 15–20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Prep Bowl Ingredients:
While the salmon is marinating, cook the rice according to package instructions. Prepare the vegetables: steam the broccoli, sauté the mushrooms with a splash of coconut aminos, and chop any raw toppings (carrots, cucumber, avocado, green onions, etc.).
Cook the Salmon:
Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade). Cook until the internal temperature reaches 130-145°F.
– Air Fryer Method: Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place salmon in the air fryer basket. Cook for 7–9 minutes, depending on thickness.
– Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness.
Make the Glaze:
Transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring to a rapid boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened and the sauce reaches a temperature of 165°F. Spoon the glaze over the salmon during the final 1–2 minutes of cooking.
Assemble the Bowls:
Divide the cooked rice between bowls. Top each with glazed salmon, assorted vegetables, and garnishes of choice.
