Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Bang Bang Sauce
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise) Yogurt can be substituted for mayonnaise.
  • 4 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tsp sriracha Adjust based on heat preference.
For the Salmon and Vegetables
  • 1 lb salmon filet (chopped into bite-sized chunks) Cook to internal temperature of 145°F.
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (for cooking) For frying the salmon.
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos Can marinate salmon for additional flavor.
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 large cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice Can prepare in advance.
  • 1 large head broccoli (chopped into florets) Cook according to preference.
  • 1 large ripe avocado (sliced) For assembly.
  • 1 Batch Asian Cucumber Salad Made from fresh ingredients and should sit for flavors to meld.
  • 1 tsp sriracha (optional) Add if more heat is desired.
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine all the cucumber salad ingredients for the Asian Cucumber Salad and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Follow package instructions for cooking the brown rice. Typically, one cup of dry rice yields about three cups cooked.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cooking
  1. Choose your preferred method—steam, sauté, or roast the broccoli until tender.
  2. In a skillet, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon chunks and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Assembly
  1. Start with a layer of cooked brown rice in each bowl.
  2. Add in the crispy salmon, steamed broccoli, cucumber salad, and sliced avocado.
  3. Finish with a generous drizzle of the bang bang sauce.

Notes

Customize by swapping salmon for shrimp or chicken, or making it vegetarian by using tofu. Store leftovers in separate airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
