Instructions
Prepare the Salmon
-
In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos (or soy sauce mixed with pure maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, sriracha, and sesame oil until well combined.
-
Place the salmon filet on a cutting board and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Remove the skin if desired, or leave it on for extra crispiness.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and sizzling.
-
Add the salmon pieces to the skillet, skin-side down if the skin is on. Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
-
Flip the salmon and cook for another 1–2 minutes, then pour the sauce into the skillet. Let it boil gently, reducing heat if needed.
-
Continue cooking and flipping the salmon until fully glazed and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes total. The salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and is light pink throughout.
Make the Crispy Salmon Bowls
-
Add cooked rice to two serving bowls.
-
Top with cucumber salad, sautéed broccoli, and sliced avocado.
-
Divide the crispy salmon evenly between the bowls.
-
Drizzle with bang bang sauce, and add coconut aminos or teriyaki sauce if desired.
-
Finish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, then serve and enjoy.
