Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by ensuring your salmon is thawed if frozen, rinsing it under cold water, and then patting it dry with paper towels.
  2. Prepare your rice according to package instructions; if you're using pre-cooked rice, simply heat it as per the guidelines.
  3. Once the salmon is dry, season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
  5. Gently lay the salmon fillets into the hot skillet, skin side down if applicable, and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  6. Flip the fillets carefully and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until done.
  7. In a small bowl, combine desired amount of sriracha with mayonnaise until smooth.
  8. Start assembling your bowls with a base of fluffy rice, then add salmon, avocado, and cucumber slices.
  9. Drizzle the creamy sriracha over the top and serve immediately.
