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. Gauge the amount of rice you make based on how many people you’re serving.
  • While the rice is cooking, prepare the bang bang sauce by stirring together the ingredients in a small bowl until well-combined and refrigerate.
  • Steam, sauté, or roast the broccoli according to your preference.

Salmon Preparation

  • In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sriracha, and sesame oil, and stir together until well-combined.
  • Cut the raw salmon filet into bite-sized cubes.
  • Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • 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 another minute or two.
  • Pour the sauce for the salmon into the skillet and continue cooking and flipping until fully glazed and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Serving

  • Add desired amount of rice to two large bowls. Top with cucumber salad, sautéed broccoli, avocado, and divide the cooked crispy salmon bites between each bowl.
  • Drizzle with bang bang sauce and serve.

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 leftovers in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
