Spicy Chipotle Honey Salmon Rice Salad. Smoky, barely spicy, chipotle roasted salmon tossed with crispy garlic rice and a giant avocado salad. Drizzle over my favourite toasted sesame tahini honey dressing, and also you’ll have a salad that won’t disappoint. That is type of like a rice bowl meets a giant inexperienced salad. Completely scrumptious! I like to recommend serving this with salted tortilla chips for scooping. YUM!

If there was ever a salad I might get my household enthusiastic about consuming, it’s absolutely a salad with rice. We might stay off of bowls of steamed rice. It’s actually one in all our primary meals teams. Truthfully, there’s not per week that goes by that I’m not making at the very least one pot of rice.

Why Rice?

Our obsession has been fueled by my one and solely mom; she is the queen of rice! We loved rice a lot rising up. She used to make pots of immediate rice, however then my dad took over, and it grew to become steamed rice with salt and butter.

I’m undecided how he discovered to cook dinner the right pot of rice, however to today, I take advantage of his methodology. Rice and water in a pot with a slice of butter. Deliver to a boil, cowl, and cut back the warmth to low for five minutes. Then flip the warmth off and let the rice sit, lined, for an additional 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork (all the time a fork) and serve!

My brother, Pink, has informed me a number of instances that he’ll eat virtually something over rice. You get the purpose; we love rice. Okay, shifting on!

I virtually all the time have leftover bowls of rice within the fridge. With all that rice, you’ll be able to guess that rice salads occur typically. However I like my rice heat, so crispy rice salads are what I’ve been making these days. I crisp my rice up within the oven, identical to I do after I make rooster fried rice. Then, I toss it with a whole lot of salad elements! This salmon salad is my dad’s favourite; spicy chipotle honey salmon rice salad by no means disappoints!

Steps

Step 1: make the rice

This isn’t a traditional crispy rice. It’s made on a sheet pan to make issues quick and straightforward.

I prefer to toss my rice (I normally use jasmine) with butter, toasted sesame oil, and garlic. Then I bake it to dry it out and get it crispy. Subsequent, I add a bit of tamari and permit it to bake into the rice.

The rice comes out crispy, garlicky, and salty. It’s so good!

I cook dinner the salmon whereas the rice is cooking – all in the identical oven.

It’s fairly straightforward. Toss the salmon cubes with butter, then chipotle, honey, and tamari; bake till crisp.

Step 3: now the salad

Shredded cabbage, chunks of avocado, cucumber, chopped jalapeño, cilantro and peanuts.

You possibly can additionally use kale rather than the cabbage, however I’m loving easy cabbage these days.

Step 4: the tahini dressing

A mixture of creamy tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, honey, and a few teaspoons of tamari or soy sauce. The tahini gives a beautiful creamy dressing, whereas the honey and tamari add candy, savory, and salty flavors.

Add chili flakes on prime for some spice!

Step 5: placing all of it collectively

Spoon the recent rice over the salad, add the salmon, after which the dressing. Give this a delicate toss to mix – eat immediately!

As talked about above, I like my rice heat, and truthfully, lots of my salads too. So heat and crispy is the way in which I love to do it!

That is odd, however…

For serving, I’ve began including selfmade tortilla chips. I like scooping up the salad with the chips. They add a yummy salty crunch!
