My new go-to weeknight dinner – Hot Honey Crispy Salmon Bowls. Crispy roasted salmon mixed with asparagus tossed up in everyone’s favorite sweet-spicy hot honey sauce. The honey sauce has the perfect combination of spices and sea salt. Each bowl is assembled with rice, avocado and feta salsa, and a creamy cilantro ranch. A delicious weeknight dinner to serve up to family and friends. Save the leftovers for a delicious lunch the following day!

If there’s anything I am desperately craving, it’s more color in my life! With the weather being somewhat blah for a couple days last week, I needed to introduce color in other ways. I think every recipe I’ve made since returning home from Miami has been like the rainbow. So much color!

And I love that! These bowls turned out even better than I had envisioned. This is a concept I’ve had on my “to-make list” for while. We just love my spicy hot honey sauce over here. So I’ve had lots of fun reinventing and repurposing it in new recipes!

I have so many fresh spring “bowl” recipes lined up for you that I can’t wait to share! I guess you could say that I’m in a “bowl” phase! But this spicy salmon is my favorite. It really does have everything good piled into one bowl. Steamed rice and crispy salmon bites tossed in our go-to hot honey sauce. Then mixed with a salty and creamy avocado feta salad with fresh herbs and edible flowers. Plus a homemade cilantro ranch that adds a cooling, creaminess to each bowl.

Oh, and I threw in some springtime asparagus too!

Yes, there is a lot happening, but everything together hits just right. You’re going to be making these on repeat, I know it!

Details

What’s amazing about these bowls is how easy they are to throw together, yet still so delicious! The salmon and asparagus are cooked together on a sheet pan until perfectly roasted and crispy.

I love to cook with asparagus this time of year, it’s coming into season for spring. It’s yet another food that reminds me of my Nonnie. She used to cook asparagus all the time, she loved it!

Simply toss the salmon bites with olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Then add the asparagus and roast away.

While the fish is cooking, I prep everything else.

For the hot honey sauce, warm the honey on the stove with hot sauce, cayenne, and chipotle chili powder. The chili powder adds a very subtle smokiness to the sweet, spicy, salty sauce.

You can use as little or as much of the sauce as you’d like, but I end up using most of the sauce. My dad is absolutely obsessed with it!

For the salsa, avocado, so much cilantro, dill, so much feta cheese, a serrano pepper (you can use a jalapeño too), a little oil, and a lemon.

The is KEY, so don’t skip it. I think it adds a lot of flavor and freshness.

Now the next step is optional, I make a creamy, cooling cilantro ranch dressing, It’s easy to do, just blend up everything until creamy!

I use cilantro and basil, then all the usually ranch dressing ingredients.

Assemble

Fill your bowls with rice. Then layer everything in. The asparagus, salmon, salsa, a drizzle of extra hot honey, and a dollop with lots of cilantro ranch.

So much happening, but really it comes together quickly since we’re just repeating ingredients throughout and roasting everything on a sheet pan! We love that!
