Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Maple Sriracha Salmon
- Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix together maple syrup, sriracha, minced garlic, soy sauce (if using), salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove salmon from the marinade (reserve marinade) and place it in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
Step 2: Make Coconut Rice
- Cook the Rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Step 3: Prepare Mango Avocado Salsa
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine diced mango, avocado, red onion, lime juice, salt, pepper, and cilantro if desired. Gently toss to combine.
Step 4: Make Chili Mayo
