Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Salmon Bites
  • 1.5 lbs fresh salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp fresh black pepper
For the Sticky Hot Honey Glaze
  • 0.33 cup pure honey
  • 1.5 tbsp sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, grated
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
For Assembling the Rice Bowls
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 large Hass avocado
  • 1 medium English cucumber
  • 3 stalks scallions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp spicy mayo

Method
 

Prep and Season Salmon Cubes
  1. Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness. Cut into uniform 1-inch bite-sized cubes.
  2. Toss salmon cubes in a medium bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Whisk Glaze & Sear Salmon
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together pure honey, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, grated garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Heat a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a light spray of oil. Add salmon bites in a single spaced layer (do not overcrowd).
  3. Sear undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until golden-brown and crispy on bottom. Flip and sear for another 1 to 2 minutes until cooked to medium perfection.
Glaze & Assemble Bowls
  1. Pour hot honey glaze directly over the searing salmon in the skillet. Simmer vigorously for 45 to 60 seconds, gently spooning bubbling caramelizing glaze over every cube until glossy, thick, and sticky. Remove pan from heat immediately.
  2. Divide warm steamed jasmine rice between 4 bowls. Top with glazed hot honey salmon bites, fan sliced avocado and crisp cucumbers alongside.
  3. Spoon extra skillet hot honey reduction over the salmon and rice. Garnish generously with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and a spiral of spicy sriracha mayo. Serve immediately!

Notes

PRO TIP: Do not move salmon bites during the first 2 minutes in hot skillet. Allowing undisturbed heat contact develops the signature golden caramelized crust before glazing.
