From the Cook
1/2
Salmon and Coconut Rice Bowls with Sriracha Honey
Instructions
1
Set the edamame aside to partially thaw. Rinse the rice under cold running water in a fine strainer until water runs clear. Set aside.
2
Finely chop the onion. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the rice to the onion mixture and stir until coated. Add the water, coconut milk, and salt, and stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer very gently until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 18-20 minutes. Remove rice from heat and let stand, covered. Meanwhile, continue with recipe.
4
Mix the ginger, honey, sriracha, and soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside 1/2 cup for serving. (You'll use the rest for glazing the salmon.)
5
Set an oven rack 4-5 inches from broiler. Preheat broiler.
6
While rice cooks and rests, line a small baking sheet with foil. Arrange the salmon fillets so they are not touching. Season with the salt and pepper and brush with the sesame oil. Brush with the remaining honey-sriracha sauce.
7
Broil the salmon on top rack of oven until the glaze is lightly charred in spots and salmon is just cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Use a small knife to cut into the salmon to check doneness.
8
Check to see that salmon is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
Fluff the coconut rice with a fork and gently stir in the edamame (it's okay if it isn't fully thawed). Thinly slice the cucumbers on a diagonal.
10
Spoon rice into bowls. Slide a spatula under salmon fillets to leave the skin behind and transfer to bowls. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Arrange cucumbers in bowls and serve with the reserved honey-sriracha sauce. Refrigerate any leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to one week.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Salmon Skin Crisping Technique 🐟Pat salmon dry and place skin-side down in a cold pan, then slowly increase heat to medium-high for perfectly crispy skin without overcooking the flesh. This method allows the skin to render gradually while the gentle heat prevents the delicate salmon from drying out.
- Coconut Rice Absorption Secret 🥥Toast the jasmine rice in vegetable oil with diced onion and fresh ginger for 2-3 minutes before adding liquid to enhance nutty aromatics and prevent mushy rice. This step creates better texture and prevents the rice from becoming gummy when mixed with coconut milk.
- Sriracha-Honey Glaze Timing ⏱️Apply the sriracha-honey mixture only in the final 3-4 minutes of cooking to prevent burning while ensuring the glaze caramelizes and adheres properly. Reserve extra sauce for drizzling after plating to maintain bright, fresh flavor.
- Sesame Oil Flavor Maximization 🫒Add toasted sesame oil as a finishing drizzle rather than during cooking, as high heat destroys its delicate nutty flavor and aromatic qualities. A teaspoon at the end transforms the bowl's depth without the bitterness that develops from cooking.
- Edamame Integration Strategy 🫘Stir pre-cooked, shelled edamame into the coconut rice during the last 2 minutes of cooking to warm them through and allow flavors to meld, rather than folding them in after. This prevents them from being overly mushy while ensuring even distribution throughout the rice.
