Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. If not using leftover rice, cook 2 cups according to package directions.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon for 4-6 minutes per side until cooked through, or use an alternative cooking method like baking or air-frying.
  4. While the salmon cooks, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and Sriracha (if using) in a small bowl to create the sauce.
  5. Slice your cucumber and avocado, and ensure your edamame is cooked.
  6. Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls and top each with a salmon fillet.
  7. Arrange the sliced cucumber, avocado, and edamame around the salmon in each bowl.
  8. Generously drizzle the prepared sauce over the salmon and vegetables.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, then serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can marinate the salmon in a portion of the sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of Sriracha according to your preferred spice level. Fresh ginger can be substituted with 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and fresh garlic with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
