Sunnys Easy Salmon Bowl Recipes

SUNNY'S BBQ SALMON AND EASY SALAD

Steps:

• For the salmon: Pat the salmon dry. Place the salmon skin-side down on a piece of nonstick aluminum foil on a baking sheet or a cedar plank that was soaked in water for 1 to 2 hours. In a zigzag motion, drizzle the liquid smoke over the flesh of the salmon and brush it in; let rest 5 minutes. Season the salmon with salt.
• For the rub: In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chile flakes, salt and pepper. Gently pour the seasoning blend over the entire top of the salmon, patting it into the flesh evenly. Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven or a grill to 300 degrees F.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon. Place the salmon on the foil directly onto the grill or in the oven (or the salmon on the plank). Cook until medium rare, 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size.
• For the easy salad: In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, onion and lemon juice. Sprinkle lightly with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Rest for a few minutes, then drizzle over the olive oil and toss again.
• Remove the salmon from the skin and flake over the salad.

SUNNY'S EASY HONEY-GLAZED SALMON--MANY WAYS

Steps:

• For the salmon: Brush each salmon fillet on the fleshy side with the honey. Coat using the following instructions for one of the following flavors.
• For the lemon pepper: Season with a sprinkle of salt, then add plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and top each salmon portion with 2 lemon slices.
• For the BBQ, sriracha or everything bagel seasoning: Sprinkle the seasoning evenly on each salmon portion.
• For the pesto: Add the pesto on top of the honey and gently spread without pushing the honey over the edge (having the pesto chilled will help here).
• Preheat a grill or the oven to 325 to 350 degrees F. Place the salmon on the grill on a piece of aluminum foil or on a pan lined with nonstick aluminum foil on the center rack of the oven. Grill or bake until preferred doneness, 10 to 15 minutes for medium. Remove and rest for a minute or two before serving.

SESAME SALMON BOWLS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar and salt; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the rice and 1 3/4 cups water, and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, toss salmon with 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil and season with salt. Once rice is tender (after about 20 minutes), arrange salmon in an even layer on top of rice. Cover and steam over low heat until fish is cooked to medium, about 12 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, safflower oil, scallions, ginger and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and season with salt.
• Scoop salmon and rice into bowls. Top each with some cucumbers, coleslaw mix and avocado. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with nori, if using.
