Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

For the Rice Bowl:

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or any preferred rice)

1 cup broccoli florets (steamed or blanched)

1 carrot, julienned

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Reserve a tablespoon of the marinade for later.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the honey garlic marinade over the salmon. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor) in the refrigerator.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drippings fall back into the bowl. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down (if applicable). Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice caramelized glaze.

        Prepare the Rice Bowl: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the rice. In a separate bowl, add the cooked jasmine rice and drizzle with rice vinegar, tossing lightly to incorporate.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of the vinegared rice. Top with steamed broccoli, julienned carrots, sliced cucumber, and avocado.

            Add the Salmon: Carefully place the cooked salmon fillet on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the salmon for added flavor.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the whole bowl. Optionally, you can add more vegetables according to your preference, or a drizzle of sriracha for heat. Serve immediately and enjoy!
