How to Serve Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

Serve these bowls warm, fresh out of the skillet. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with additional sides like a light salad or steamed vegetables. These bowls are perfect for a family meal or for meal prep throughout the week.

How to Store Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

To store leftover Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate. They can last for up to 3 days in the fridge. If you want to freeze them, make sure to separate the ingredients so the rice and vegetables don’t become mushy.

Tips to Make Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

  • Adjust the levels of honey and sriracha based on your taste preference; add more honey for sweetness or more sriracha for heat.
  • For extra flavor, try adding some fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions as a topping.
  • Make sure the salmon is cooked through but still tender. Overcooking can make it dry.

Variation

You can customize the bowls with different vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or radishes. You can also use other proteins, such as chicken or tofu, in place of salmon.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen salmon. Just make sure to thaw it completely before marinating and cooking.

2. What can I substitute for white rice?

You can use brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice if you prefer a healthier or low-carb option.

3. How can I make this dish spicier?

You can add more sriracha to both the marinade and the sriracha mayo. You can also incorporate fresh jalapeños or chili flakes for an extra kick.
