Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Salmon Bowl
  1. Marinate the Salmon: Whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder. Coat the salmon fillets and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare Spicy Mayo: In a bowl, combine mayo, sriracha, and sweet chili sauce; whisk until smooth. Adjust sriracha to your spice level and set aside.
  3. Make Asian Slaw: Toss together cabbage, grated ginger, green onions, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Cook Salmon: Heat skillet over medium-high heat, cook salmon for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Pour in reserved marinade and let bubble for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Spoon slaw into bowls, top with salmon and drizzle with spicy mayo. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
