Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 cup quinoa

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 cup broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Sesame seeds for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. Set aside.

    Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them, letting them marinate for at least 15 minutes. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later.

      Cook the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

        Steam the broccoli: While the quinoa cooks, steam the broccoli florets for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender.

          Cook the salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Remove the salmon from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets in the hot skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. During the last minute of cooking, drizzle the reserved marinade over the salmon to glaze it.

            Assemble the bowls: Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and divide it among serving bowls. Top each bowl with steamed broccoli, sliced red bell pepper, avocado, and a salmon fillet.

              Garnish and serve: Drizzle additional honey or sriracha over the bowls if desired. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Spicy Honey Salmon Bowls!
