Sweet Chili Salmon Rice Bowl

I have this thing about bowls these days so I am trying all kinds of ideas and creating recipes. So today I share my Sweet Chili Salmon Rice Bowl and it is delicious, just make sure you find a Sweet Chili paste sauce or it might be way too hot.

Yield: 4

Ingredients
1 pound salmon filet, cut into chunk
1/2 shredded carrot
1/2 shelled edamame

2-3 sliced small sweet peppers
a pinch of salt and pepper
2-3 green onions, sliced into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces(red onion is good too)
1/4 cup sweet chili paste sauce, plus extra for topping if desired(be sure it says Sweet)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (we love lots of cilantro)
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1–2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 limes, sliced

Instructions

Cook rice in a rice cooker according to directions. Let cool while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Skin and cut salmon into cubes. Place the salmon in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, then cover with the chili sauce and honey, tossing well to coat. You can toss with a little more chili sauce if desired.

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the edamame and shredded carrots and cook 2-3 minutes or until slightly tender. Add green onions and cook and additional 1-2 minutes (I like my carrots to have a little fresh crunch, but it can be cooked a few extra minutes if you would like them thoroughly cooked). Set veggies aside.

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Place the salmon in the skillet and cook until opaque and golden on all sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Assemble rice bowls by dividing the rice, veggies, and salmon among 4 bowls. Top with cilantro, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

Remove the salmon and place it on a plate. Drizzle it with the toasted sesame oil and cover with the cilantro and sesame seeds. Finish with a spritz of lime. Serve with lime wedges and extra chili sauce.
