Overview
Why it works
A restaurant-style poke-bar bowl you can put together in under 25 minutes. The honey-sriracha glaze caramelizes on the salmon and drips into warm rice below.
- Salmon delivers 45 g of protein plus omega-3s that dampen training-induced inflammation.
- Edamame adds 8 g of plant protein and fiber that slows the sugar hit from the honey glaze.
- Jasmine rice restocks glycogen without sitting heavy the way brown rice can post-training.
Ingredients
Ingredients · 2 servings
- 2 x 170 g salmon fillets, skin on
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 cup jasmine rice (dry)
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp pickled ginger
- Sesame seeds and sliced scallion to finish
Instructions
Step by step
- 1
Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions; while it cooks, bring a small pan of water to a boil and steam the edamame for 3 minutes until tender.
- 2
Whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved; set aside.
- 3
Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
- 4
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a thin film of oil, and place the salmon skin-side down; press gently with a spatula for the first 10 seconds to prevent the skin curling.
- 5
Sear skin-side down for 4 minutes until the skin is deeply golden and crispy, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
- 6
Brush the top of the salmon generously with the honey-sriracha glaze, then place under a broiler for 90 seconds until the glaze caramelizes and turns sticky.
- 7
Divide the rice between two bowls; arrange the salmon, edamame, sliced cucumber, avocado and pickled ginger on top.
- 8
Drizzle any remaining glaze over the bowls and finish with sesame seeds and sliced scallion.
Pro Tips
Coach-level details
- Pat salmon dry before searing - a wet fillet steams instead of crisping.
- Double the glaze and use it on tofu or chicken later in the week.
