How to Make Salmon Rice Bowls
Possible Variations on this Spicy Salmon Bowl Recipe
White rice substitute: Brown rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa, or farro would work well in place of white sushi rice. Make your own coleslaw mix: Rather than using a store-bought coleslaw mix you can use 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage, 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage, and 1/2 cup carrots cut into matchsticks. Mirin substitute: Dry sherry would work in a pinch. Rice vinegar alternative: Apple cider vinegar is another great choice. Less sodium option: If you want to cut sodium use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, don’t add additional salt to the recipe. Honey alternative: Real maple syrup or brown sugar will work in place of honey. Healthier mayo option: Plain Greek yogurt can be used in place of mayo to make it healthier. Or you can use light mayo. Use other vegetables: So many options on this one. You could use other vegetables like bok choy, spinach, broccoli slaw, bell pepper, snap peas, sauteed mushrooms etc. Chicken for salmon: Chopped chicken breasts can be used in place of salmon, just cook through completely (it will take about 6 minutes to cook).
Make Ahead Meal Prep
Salmon and rice can be prepared a day in advance, store in the fridge (preferably not layered or salmon marinade will soak into salmon). Reheat in the microwave on 50% power until heated through. Slaw can be prepared a day ahead and cucumber can be sliced ahead, just wait to add to heated bowl. Chop avocado just before serving.
