Variations & swaps
Possible Variations on this Spicy Salmon Bowl Recipe
- White rice substitute: Brown rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa, or farro would work well in place of white sushi rice.
- Make your own coleslaw mix: Rather than using a store-bought coleslaw mix you can use 2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage, 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage, and 1/2 cup carrots cut into matchsticks.
- Mirin substitute: Dry sherry would work in a pinch.
- Rice vinegar alternative: Apple cider vinegar is another great choice.
- Less sodium option: If you want to cut sodium use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, don’t add additional salt to the recipe.
- Honey alternative: Real maple syrup or brown sugar will work in place of honey.
- Healthier mayo option: Plain Greek yogurt can be used in place of mayo to make it healthier. Or you can use light mayo.
- Use other vegetables: So many options on this one. You could use other vegetables like bok choy, spinach, broccoli slaw, bell pepper, snap peas, sauteed mushrooms etc.
- Chicken for salmon: Chopped chicken breasts can be used in place of salmon, just cook through completely (it will take about 6 minutes to cook).
