  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Cabbage

  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1/2 lime, juiced

Coconut Rice

  • 1/5 cups coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp salt

Garnish

  • chili crisp, optional

Instructions
 

  • Cut salmon into cubes and place into a medium bowl. Add the remaining salmon ingredients and toss to combine. Let marinate for 30 minutes to overnight. 
  • Meanwhile, prep the cucumbers by adding sliced cucumbers and soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil to a bowl. Toss to combine. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and toss again. Cover and refrigerate until time to use. This can be made one day in advance.
  • Squeeze lime juice over purple cabbage and add a pinch of salt. Toss to coat, place in refrigerator until ready to eat. This can be made one day in advance.
  • To make rice, mix all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff.
  • To cook salmon, preheat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add cubed salmon and brown each side, lower heat to cook through, about 6-8 minutes total.
  • Assemble bowls by putting a scoop of fluffy rice at the bottom then spoon the cooked salmon, cucumber and cabbage on top.  Add a spoonful of chili crisp to the top for added spice, or leave out.
