Bang Bang Salmon Bowls

Bang Bang Salmon Bowls

Food in a bowl is just better. Taco bowls, burrito bowls, big grain bowls, warm salads, cold salads, pastas, and more can all be eaten in bowls! Kevin and I usually eat dinner together after he’s home from work and after the kids are in bed. Sitting on the couch with a delicious dinner in a bowl is the absolute best. We’ve been enjoying salmon at least once a week, and these bang bang salmon bowls are our new favorite recipe. Served over rice and with a quick pickled cucumber salad, the salmon is so crispy and delicious. Top it all with sliced green onion and a sriracha mayo for the perfect dinner in a bowl situation. The salmon itself is not spicy at all, making it perfect to give your kids with their own dipping sauce. My five-year-old was eating this salmon as a snack as I was recipe testing! An easy and delicious dinner that the whole family will enjoy? Sign me up!

Bang Bang Salmon Bowls

Ingredients for Bang Bang Salmon Bowls

  • Salmon. Wild caught will give you the most flavor and nutritional benefit. Here, we are using fresh Copper River Salmon fillets.
  • Buttermilk. A quick dip in the buttermilk before breading will help lock in moisture and allow the dry mixture to stick. Buttermilk is a bit tangier and thicker than regular milk which is important here.
  • Salt + pepper
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Sugar
  • Cornstarch. The cornstarch helps keep the coating of the salmon thin and it gets super crispy. It’s better than using flour or breadcrumbs to get the right texture!
  • Rice. Serving the salmon and cucumber salad over rice helps soak up all that flavor.
  • Cucumbers. The crisp cucumber salad is the perfect addition to the salmon.
  • Rice vinegar. We are using this for the cucumber salad.
  • Mayonnaise + sriracha. The sriracha mayo is going to be a great condiment! Drizzle over the salmon bowls or go ahead and dunk them right in.
  • Green onions. For topping!

How to Make Bang Bang Salmon Bowls

  • First, start your rice. This will take the longest time to cook, so be sure to cook according to your preferred directions. I boil 3 cups of water and add about a tablespoon of butter or oil and a teaspoon of salt. Once it’s boiling, I add 1 1/2 cups of long grain white rice. I give a quick stir and then let it cook undisturbed until the water is just about gone. Then, turn off the heat and add the lid to the pot. After about 10-15 minutes I fluff it with a fork and it’s ready to go.
  • While the rice is cooking, work on your salmon. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, cut the fillets into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl covered with buttermilk. In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat the oil in a large shallow skillet and take pieces of the salmon from the buttermilk and dredge on all sides in the cornstarch mixture. Place in the hot oil and cook until the breading darkens a bit and the fish is crispy on all sides. The salmon won’t get super browned so be careful not to overcook it. When the salmon is done cooking, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • For a quick cucumber salad, chop your cucumber and place in a bowl with rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. Stir to combine, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Mix together your mayonnaise and sriracha to your desired spiciness. Serve a scoop of rice topped with salmon and the cucumber salad on the side. Drizzle the whole thing with sriracha mayo and top with sliced green onions.

If you don’t want to serve your crispy bang bang salmon in a bowl, it’s also delicious all by itself with a bowl of sriracha mayo for dunking! However you enjoy these bang bang salmon bowls, they are truly delicious!

Happy second birthday to our sweet Killian Michael Happy second birthday to our sweet Killian Michael! Describing you as sweet is so accurate because you absolutely are the sweetest boy. You’re so easygoing and a joy to be around. You took your time learning to walk but now you are running everywhere, always with a car or truck in hand. You learn new words every day, and when you see a truck, train, plane, or “copa copter” that you’re excited about, you shriek “MOMMY” at increasing volume until I acknowledge what you’ve seen. You will happily drive cars and trucks for hours with a subtle “vroom” as you play. Your favorite day of the week is garbage truck day. You love going to the zoo and seeing animals and always point out the “woof woofs” you see on our hikes and walks. You love when your brothers read to you but if they pick the wrong book, you slap it away and say “no” until you get the one you wanted. The second you hear the garage door at the end of the day you say “dada!” And wait at the door to run and give a hug. Sweet boy, you have brought us so much joy in these two years. You truly have the best disposition and personality. You are such a gift and we all adore you so much. Happy birthday boo bear! #killianmichael #birthdayboy #twoyearsold
