Fragrant coconut rice studded with edamame forms the base for this Asian-style sweet and spicy roasted salmon meal. A sriracha-honey sauce serves as both a glaze for the salmon and a sauce for the bowl. If you like, these salmon-rice bowls can be embellished with cashews, crispy radishes, almost any pickled vegetables, or crumbled roasted seaweed. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Tina Ujlaki.

Instructions

Set the edamame aside to partially thaw. Rinse the rice under cold running water in a fine strainer until water runs clear. Set aside.

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.

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.

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.)

Set an oven rack 4-5 inches from broiler. Preheat broiler.

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.

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.

Check to see that salmon is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

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.

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)

Coconut Rice Perfection 🥥
Toast the rice in a bit of oil before adding coconut milk to enhance nutty flavors and prevent clumping.
Salmon Skin Technique 🐟
For crispy salmon skin, pat the fillets completely dry and start cooking skin-side down in a hot pan with minimal oil.
Sriracha Honey Balance 🌶️
Whisk the Sriracha and honey together until fully incorporated, creating a smooth glaze that will evenly coat the salmon.
Edamame Preparation Hack 🥢
If using frozen edamame, quick-blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to maintain bright color and crisp texture before adding to the rice.
Cucumber Freshness Trick 🥒
Slice Persian cucumbers just before serving to maintain their crisp texture and prevent watering down the rice.
