Instructions
- 1Cook the salmon: Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place skin-side down in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 5–7 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, then transfer to a cutting board and break into bite-sized pieces.
- 2Make the dressing: Whisk together the coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and sriracha in a small bowl until combined. Reserve ½ cup in a separate container.
- 3Cook the coconut rice: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, bring the coconut milk mixture to a simmer, add the brown rice, and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 18–20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- 4Prepare the fresh components: While the rice cooks, dice the mango and cucumber, pit and slice the avocado, slice the Fresno chile pepper, and cut the lime into wedges for serving.
- 5Assemble the bowls: Divide the warm coconut rice evenly among 4 airtight containers while hot, then top each with one-quarter of the salmon pieces, mango, cucumber, avocado, edamame, and Fresno pepper.
- 6Finish and portion: Drizzle each bowl with the reserved dressing and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing, or seal containers for meal prep storage.
