There is nothing quite like a quick dinner that feels fancy enough for guests but is simple enough for a busy Tuesday. These bowls are a favorite in my house because they bring together fresh fruit and savory salmon in a way that feels bright and satisfying.

The secret here is the sauce. You can adjust the spice level to your liking, and the pineapple adds such a nice sweetness that cuts right through the richness of the fish. It is a complete meal in one bowl.

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets, skin removed and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 ripe avocado, sliced
2 cups cooked white or brown rice

Instructions

1
Whisk the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl until smooth to make your bang bang sauce.
2
In a separate bowl, toss the shredded cabbage, pineapple, and lime juice together to create the slaw.
3
Season the salmon cubes with garlic powder and paprika.
4
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and cook the salmon until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes.
5
Divide the cooked rice into bowls.
6
Top the rice with the cooked salmon, a generous scoop of the pineapple slaw, and fresh avocado slices.
7
Drizzle the bang bang sauce over the top before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. If you want to prep ahead, make the sauce and the slaw earlier in the day but keep the salmon fresh to ensure the best texture.
