VIRAL TikTok Salmon Rice Bowl
Updated: Jun 8
I'm sure you've seen Emily Mariko's viral TikTok, making what has to be one of the best-looking, healthy lunches I have ever seen. But, if you're like me, you have wanted a written out recipe to recreate this leftover hack.
Also, as I usually do, I have made a few of my own dietetic edits to this recipe, making it even healthier and a little more convenient for me and my kitchen!

1 salmon fillet
Microwaveable rice
1-2 tbsp Soy sauce
1-2 tbsp Mayonnaise (full fat/light what ever you fancy)
2 tsp Siracha
Scallions
Veg to bulk out the meal that little bit more (use whatever you have in the fridge - for me this was red peppers and beetroot)
1/3 Avocado as a topping
Optional toasted sesame seeds to garnish
Method:
Cook the salmon whatever way you like. For me this was in the oven at ~180 degrees for approx 25-35 mins. I like to let my salmon get quite crispy.
Microwave your rice (super quick and easy)
Optional: For the veg I briefly stir - fried these in a pan but depending on what veg you are using and how much time you have this step is optional
Mash up the salmon with the rice, veg, soya sauce, mayonnaise and siracha.
Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and add the avocado on top.
Now sit back and enjoy!
I love this recipe as I find it very, very simple and very, very quick!!! And it also gets in my omega 3s for the week from the oily fish.
