Hot Honey Salmon Bowl

Written By Hannah Williams

This one is a favorite. I mean, I’m in a hot honey phase, and will put it on just about anything but this hot honey salmon?? It’s DELICIOUS. This meal doesn’t do as well prepping it all together but easily prepping the salmon ahead of time means that you still only need about 5 minutes or so to put it together, and IT IS WORTH IT!!!! If you try ANY of the meal prep options…try this one. I have made versions of this over the years, but I’m referencing the recipe from Eat With Clarity (linked here) that I used and made a few modifications to. Now…I know I’m all about the quick meals, AND THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THEM..but this one does require some time to marinate, so I don’t count this as prep time since it’s just sitting in the fridge lol.

Recipe:

  • 16oz salmon - cut into 1inch cubes (I usually have them remove the skin, but you can keep it on if you want!)

  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, tamari (I use coconut aminos)

  • 1 tablespoons honey

  • 1T Mike’s hot honey

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha

  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

  • 3 tablespoons water

  • White rice (or whatever you prefer - can also swap out for quinoa, or cali-rice if you want!)

  • toppings (edamame, cucumber, matchstick carrots, avocado, greens, etc.) - this is a great way to build the bowl that matches the remaining macros you have left. Not a ton of carbs left? less rice, more greens & cakes. Need more fat? heyyyy avocado! Need more protein? add some extra edamame!

  • I also drizzle sriracha mayo on it for some extra spice & flavah.

Instructions:

  • Mix the soy sauce, honey, hot honey, sriracha, garlic & water in a bowl, stir it all together until well mixed.

  • Add cubed salmon mix around, set aside in fridge to marinate for about an hour (but no less than like 20 minutes).

  • Once the salmon has been marinating for about an hour-ish, heat up a pan with a drizzle of olive oil (you can also make it in the air fryer if you want!) and add the salmon (keep the marinade set aside for later!)

  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side - keep an eye on it though - you want it crispy but not burnt lol. Once it is cooked - add in the rest of the marinade and cook the sauce down until it thickens.

  • Now we can put together the rest of the bowl in whatever way you want! (see below for the measurements I use!

Sriracha Mayo

you can buy this…but since I put this on so much - I got a OXO squeeze bottle, and just make my own so I can use my preferred mayo!

I use Hellman’s light mayo & sriracha - 3:1 ratio for this so depending on how much you want to make…start there. You can always add more sriracha if you want it!

The macros for the cooked salmon alone: (and then you can build the rest of the meal from there!)

  • PROTEIN: 32g

  • CARBOHYDRATES: 15g.

  • FAT: 6g

    • again - you would adjust portions/ingredients based on your own needs.

  • CALORIES: 237

BUT THAT IS JUST THE SALMON…

  • the macros for the bowl as measured out above…

    • 90g white rice

    • 5.5 oz cooked salmon

    • 1c mixed greens

    • 50g edamame

    • 55g cucumber

    • 50g matchstick carrots

  • PROTEIN: 42g

  • CARBOHYDRATES: 53g.

  • FAT: 9g

  • CALORIES: 445

Other toppings you can try adding in: fresh mango, pickled ginger, pickled red onion, edamame, avocado, cucumbers, matchstick carrots, greens, quinoa, roasted broccoli, etc But have fun with it!

ENJOY!! If you try it, tag me on IG @hannahj28 or comment below with how you made it your own!
