Description

These vibrant, healthy bowls feature crispy pan-seared salmon bites smothered in a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy bang bang sauce. Served over fluffy rice with crisp broccoli, pickled cucumbers, and sliced avocado, they deliver restaurant-quality flavor and balance with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets (150g each)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
1–2 tablespoons non-alcoholic sriracha (adjust for heat)
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
4 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup pickled cucumbers
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 lime, cut into wedges


Instructions

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Dip salmon fillets into the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Whisk eggs in a separate bowl. Submerge floured fillets in the egg, then coat evenly with panko.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear salmon bites for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy, or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes.
In another bowl, mix mayonnaise or Greek yogurt with sweet chili sauce, non-alcoholic sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth.
Steam broccoli florets for 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Arrange rice in bowls, top with broccoli, pickled cucumbers, avocado slices, and seared salmon.
Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Use a gluten-free flour and panko if dietary restrictions require it
Baking the salmon adds moisture; adjust sear time accordingly
Adjust sriracha quantity to match your spice preference
Leftover sauce keeps for 3 days in the fridge
Swap jasmine rice with quinoa or brown rice
