Instructions
- Cut 1 lb of salmon into bite-sized cubes, making sure the skin is removed. Place the salmon in a bowl and season with 1 tsp ginger paste or powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp no salt added seafood seasoning like Tony’s.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp hot honey (or regular honey with a drizzle of sriracha if you like extra heat), 1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup, and 1 tsp white wine vinegar.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon, toss to coat, and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon bites in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy on the edges and cooked through. Sprinkle with white sesame seeds to taste.
- To build your bowl, start with a scoop of warm cooked basmati rice, add steamed broccoli, and top with the crispy sesame salmon bites, top with fried egg. Drizzle with spicy mayo of your choice or a squeeze of sriracha, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
