Equipment

  • Skillet
  • bowl
  • Cutting board
  • knife
  • meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

Bang Bang Sauce

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

For the Salmon Bites

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

For the Bowls

  • 1 Batch Asian Cucumber Salad
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 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 by stirring together the ingredients in a small bowl until well-combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Steam, saute, or roast the broccoli according to your preference.

Prepare the Salmon

  • In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sriracha, and sesame oil and stir together until well-combined.
  • Cut the salmon filet into bite-sized cubes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large 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 to another side and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. Pour the sauce for the salmon into the skillet.
  • Continue cooking and flipping the salmon every few minutes until it is fully glazed and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that salmon has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

Assembly

  • Add your desired amount of rice to two large bowls.
  • Add cucumber salad, sauteed broccoli, and avocado to the bowls. Divide the cooked salmon bites between each bowl and drizzle with bang bang sauce.
  • Enjoy this flavorful, nutritious meal!

Notes

You can replace coconut aminos with ¼ cup of liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce + 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup or brown sugar. Store any leftovers in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
