This flavorful Sambal Salmon Bowl features pan-seared salmon with a spicy sambal glaze, served over fluffy rice and topped with fresh vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sambal oelek (chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sambal oelek, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar to make the glaze.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
  5. Flip the salmon and brush generously with half of the sambal glaze. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through.
  6. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  7. Divide the cooked rice between two bowls.
  8. Top each bowl with a salmon fillet.
  9. Arrange the sliced cucumber and shredded carrots around the salmon.
  10. Drizzle the remaining sambal glaze over the salmon and vegetables.
  11. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sambal oelek to your preferred spice level.
  • You can use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice for a healthier option.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like avocado, edamame, or bell peppers.
  • For a richer flavor, marinate the salmon in the sambal glaze for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
