Bang Bang Salmon Bowls

If bang bang shrimp and weeknight salmon bowls had a baby, this would be it. These 20-Minute Bang Bang Salmon Bowls are bold, saucy, and incredibly satisfying, without requiring a ton of time or effort. The salmon is cubed and broiled until caramelized and tender, then layered over fluffy rice with a crisp, tangy cucumber salad and a creamy bang bang sauce made with Greek yogurt instead of mayo. The result is a takeout-style bowl that’s spicy, savory, a little sweet, and totally delicious.

Ingredients

SALMON

  • 1 ½ Pounds Salmon cubed
  • 1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil
  • ¼ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • ½ Teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt

BANG BANG SAUCE

  • 1 Cup Greek Yogurt I like full fat
  • ¼ Cup Sriracha
  • 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • ¼ Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 Teaspoon Fresh Grated Ginger
  • ½ Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

CUCUMBER SALAD

  • 2 Persian Cucumbers
  • 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Furikake Seasoning

Instructions

  • To make these bang bang salmon bowls, start by prepping the salmon. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and add them to a large bowl. Drizzle with the avocado oil, then add the soy sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Toss everything together until the salmon is evenly coated.
  • Transfer the salmon to a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer so it can crisp properly.
  • Next, place the salmon under the broiler on high and cook for about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • While the salmon cooks, prepare the rice according to package instructions.
  • While everything is cooking, make the cucumber salad and bang bang sauce. For the cucumber salad, thinly slice the Persian cucumbers and add them to a small bowl. Toss with the rice vinegar and furikake seasoning until evenly coated, then set aside.
  • To make the bang bang sauce, add the Greek yogurt, sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes to a bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Finally, assemble your bowls. Spoon the rice into the bottom of each bowl, top with the salmon and cucumber salad, and finish with a generous drizzle of the bang bang sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy.
