# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger, garlic, and pepper. Add salmon cubes and marinate for 10 minutes.
03 - Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
04 - Arrange marinated salmon cubes on the prepared tray in a single layer. Broil for 8-10 minutes until just cooked and lightly browned at the edges.
05 - Slice cucumber, shred carrots, slice avocado, and slice green onions. Arrange all fresh vegetables and garnishes for assembly.
06 - Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top each with broiled salmon, cucumber, carrots, edamame, avocado, and green onions. Drizzle with chosen sauces and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
07 - Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

# Tips from the pros:

01 -
  • Quick and easy, taking only 35 minutes from start to finish.
  • A nutrient-dense meal featuring high-quality protein and fresh vegetables.
  • Fully customizable with various toppings and sauces to suit any palate.
02 -
  • Rinsing the rice thoroughly removes excess starch, resulting in a fluffier texture.
