Equipment

  • Skillet
  • small bowl
  • Nonstick skillet
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

Bang Bang Sauce

  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoon sweet chili sauce (purchase link)
  • 2 teaspoon sriracha (purchase link)

For the Salmon Bites

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil for cooking
  • 1 lb salmon filet chopped into bite-sized chunks
  • ½ cup coconut aminos optional
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (purchase link)
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha optional
  • 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil optional

For the Bowls

  • 1 Batch Asian Cucumber Salad (purchase link)
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice (cooked according to package instructions)
  • 1 large head broccoli chopped into florets
  • 1 large ripe avocado sliced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prepare the cucumber salad by adding all of the ingredients to a small bowl and allowing it to sit for at least 15 minutes (ideally at least one hour if you have the time).
  • Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  • While the rice is cooking, prepare the bang bang sauce. To do so, stir together the ingredients in a small bowl until well-combined and refrigerate.
  • Steam, saute, or roast the broccoli according to your preference.

Cook the Salmon

  • In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sriracha and sesame oil.
  • Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Carefully place the salmon chunks on the hot skillet skin side down and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip the salmon and continue cooking, then add the sauce to the skillet.
  • Cook until the salmon is fully glazed and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Make the Bowls

  • Add desired amount of rice to bowls, add cucumber salad, broccoli, and avocado.
  • Divide the cooked salmon bites between each bowl and drizzle with bang bang sauce.

Notes

You can replace coconut aminos with low-sodium soy sauce + maple syrup. Leftovers can be stored in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
