Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice

1 cup shelled edamame

1 cup shredded carrots

1 ripe avocado, sliced

2 green onions, thinly chopped

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Ensure all ingredients are well blended to create a uniform marinade.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish, skin-side down. Pour half of the prepared marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the salmon marinate for 15-20 minutes, turning the fillets once halfway through to evenly absorb the flavors.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Carefully flip the fillets, brushing the top with the remaining marinade. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.

        Prepare the Bowls: While the salmon is cooking, divide the cooked rice evenly among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with portions of edamame, shredded carrots, and slices of avocado, creating a colorful presentation.

          Add the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked perfectly, place a fillet on top of the fresh veggies in each bowl, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Garnish and Serve: Drizzle any leftover honey soy glaze from the skillet over the salmon in each bowl. Garnish with chopped green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness. Serve the bowls with lime wedges on the side, perfect for squeezing over the dish just before enjoying.
