WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
This hot honey salmon is super easy to make and requires very little equipment! I like to make mine in the air fryer however if you don’t have an air fryer, you can just cook this in the oven or on your stovetop in a shallow frying pan! Aside from this, knives, cutting boards, bowls, and utensils would be all you need and you can just use whatever you already have at home!
CAN I SUBSTITUTE/ADD ANYTHING OUT?
Of course, you can substitute or add what you’d like! I used buffalo sauce for this recipe but sriracha is also a delicious hot sauce you can use instead! If honey isn’t available or you don’t love honey, maple syrup would also be a great sub!
As for the rice bowls, I added, cucumber, mango, red onions, edamame, and shredded carrots but you can add in or take out what you’d like to customize it and make it your own! Red cabbage, pineapples, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, broccoli, and green onions are all good examples of what you can add!
WHAT DO HOT HONEY SALMON BOWLS TASTE LIKE?
Hot Honey Crispy Salmon Bowls offer a tantalizing blend of flavors:
- Crispy Salmon: The salmon is air-fried to crispy perfection and adds a delightful crisp, while the tender, flaky flesh brings a savory and slightly sweet taste.
- Hot Honey: The hot honey glaze adds a sweet and spicy kick, balancing the richness of the salmon with a tantalizing heat and a touch of sweetness.
- Fresh Vegetables/Fruits: The fresh produce provides a refreshing contrast, adding a fresh taste that complements the salmon and balances the dish.
- Rice or Grains: When paired with rice or grains, the dish gains an additional textural element, offering a neutral base that soaks up the salmon’s flavors and the hot honey glaze.
HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?
Hot Honey Crispy Salmon Bowls are best consumed immediately or within a day for optimal taste and texture. However, you can store the components separately:
- Salmon: If cooked, refrigerate leftover salmon in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days. Reheat gently to maintain its texture.
- Fresh Produce: Store fresh produce separately in the refrigerator, preferably in a sealed bag or container, and use it within a few days to retain freshness.
- Rice or Grains: Cooked rice or grains can be refrigerated in a sealed container for 3-4 days. Reheat before serving.
For the best taste and quality, it’s advisable to assemble the bowls just before serving. Avoid combining all the ingredients if you plan to store them as leftovers, as the textures may change and the flavors may blend, altering the intended taste profile.
