this RECIPE

Instructions:

1. Marinate Salmon Bites: In a bowl, mix maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon, tossing to coat. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
2. Cook Coconut Rice: In a saucepan, combine jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender.
3. Sauté Salmon Bites: In a heated pan, cook the marinated salmon bites over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy on the edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
4. Prepare Mango Avocado Salsa: In a bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro. Gently toss to mix.
5. Chili Mayo: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
6. Assemble Bowl: In serving bowls, layer coconut rice, salmon bites, and mango avocado salsa. Drizzle with chili mayo on top. Enjoy!

Notes:

• For extra spice, add more sriracha to the chili mayo.
• Try topping with sliced jalapeños or extra cilantro for added freshness and kick!

Helpful Tips:

• For Crispy Salmon: Pat the salmon dry before marinating to get a nice sear on the pan.
• Perfect Coconut Rice: Stir the coconut milk well before adding it to the pot for even consistency.
• Easy Mango Dicing: Slice along the mango pit, make grid-like cuts on each half, and invert to get easy-to-remove cubes.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Salmon Alternatives: Try shrimp or tofu for a pescatarian or vegetarian option.
• Maple Syrup Swap: Honey or agave works well if maple syrup isn’t on hand.
• Low-Carb Option: Use cauliflower rice instead of coconut rice for a lighter bowl.
• Add Veggies: Toss in sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, or edamame for extra crunch and nutrients.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I use frozen salmon?
  Yes! Just thaw it in the fridge overnight, pat it dry, and proceed with the recipe.
• Is coconut rice sweet?
  It has a subtle sweetness from the coconut milk, which balances the spiciness of the sriracha.
• How long can I store leftovers?
  Store the rice, salsa, and salmon separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days. Reheat salmon on the stovetop or in the oven for best results.
