Equipment
- large cast iron skillet
Ingredients
Salmon and Vegetables
- 2 pounds salmon, cut into chunks
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sliced cucumbers, for serving
- 1 large carrot, finely grated, for serving

Bang Bang Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup sweet thai chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the salmon into 1-inch chunks. Season all over with salt and pepper and the smoked paprika and garlic powder, making sure all sides are seasoned.
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon pieces in a single layer (you may have to do this in a double batch so they all fit). Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until deeply golden brown. Flip each piece of salmon and cook on the other side until golden. Transfer the salmon to a large plate and repeat with the remaining salmon if needed.
- Cover the salmon all over with green onions, sprinkling a few more into the bang bang sauce.
- To assemble the bowls, spoon some rice on the bottom. Top with the cucumbers and carrots. Add the salmon. Drizzle the sauce all over the bowls. Serve!
- Whisk together the ingredients of the bang bang sauce until creamy and smooth and combined. This stays great in the fridge for a few days.
