Easy Hot Honey Salmon Bowls are a requested meal in my house. Everyone loves them and they are so easy to pull together. There’s only one ingredient to cook and everything else is easy-peasy.
This is probably my favorite way to eat salmon. I love the crispy caramelized edges of the salmon that pairs perfectly with the crunchy cucumber and creamy avocado.
Bowls are a staple way of eating in my house, because they make everyone happy. All of the ingredients go out buffet-style and each family member chooses what they want in their bowl.
This recipe was purposefully created. While I make it alot, I typically make rice the slow way and make a separate sauce or dressing for the top. I wanted to cut down on the number of ingredients and cut down on the prep and cooking because I was writing this one for my daughter at college. She has a little air-fryer, toaster oven and this is perfect for that. It’s a way to pack in essential fatty acids, carbs, fiber, and protein, all in one meal.
Choose your own adventure with this. Choose the flavor of rice you like, add more veggies, or different ones like carrots or radishes. If mayo is your thing, drizzle some of that on top (it’s not my thing, so it’s not going in my bowl, but you do you).

Ingredients
2 salmon filets, around 4-6 ounces each
2 Tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted), divided
2 tablespoons hot honey, divided

If using oven, preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil.

Remove the skin from the salmon and cut into 1/2″ bite sized pieces.
In a small bowl, add 1 Tablespoon of butter and 1 Tablespoon of hot honey and microwave until the butter is melted and the honey is thin. In the same bowl, add the salt and spices. Add the salmon to the bowl and toss to coat in the butter mixture. Arrange the salmon on the foil and bake or air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the top edges of the salmon start to caramelize.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the bowls. Heat the rice in the microwave, cut the cucumbers and cut the avocado.
In a clean bowl, heat the remaining butter and honey. When the salmon is finished cooking, add the salmon to the bowl and toss to coat.
Arrange each bowl with salmon, rice, cucumbers, avocado, edamame and optional garnishes.
