Spicy Honey Garlic Salmon Bowl

This salmon bowl is one of the tastiest things you can make! It is reminiscent of a deconstructed spicy salmon sushi roll but it is super customizable so you can tailor it to suit your tastes. Not only is it easy, quick, and mind-blowingly delicious, but it is also very nourishing (mayonnaise aside) and satisfying. This is one of my husband’s favorite meals during the week, and he asks for it all the time! Make it, you will not regret it!

Additional Notes:

*If you do not like a little kick, omit the cayenne pepper in the salmon marinade.

*I use brown rice but white jasmine rice, sushi rice, or even cauliflower or quinoa would work!

*The Sriracha mayo can be made ahead of time.
