Healthy Bang Bang Salmon Bites Bowls are a quick and nourishing meal featuring crispy salmon bites paired with a creamy, spicy sauce. Perfect for family gatherings or a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
1.5 lbs Fresh Salmon Fillets (skinned and cubed)
2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons Sriracha Sauce
1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
3 cups Cooked Quinoa or Cauliflower Rice
As desired Sliced Cucumber, Shelled Edamame, Shredded Carrots
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Start by cutting your fresh salmon fillets into even 1-inch cubes. Pat them very dry with a paper towel
- Season the Bites: Place the salmon cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with one tablespoon of Avocado Oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to ensure every piece is coated
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining Avocado Oil. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon bites in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through
- Whisk the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, sriracha, Honey, and lime juice. Whisk until the sauce is completely smooth
- Assemble the Bowls: Scoop your base of quinoa or rice into individual bowls. Top with a portion of seared salmon bites. Add fresh vegetables around the sides
- The Finishing Touch: Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the top of the bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired
Notes
Ensure your salmon is dry for better searing.
Adjust the sriracha to taste, adding more for extra heat if desired.
