Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free alternative)

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust based on your spice preference)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon sesame oil (for cooking)

For the Rice:

1 cup jasmine rice (or any rice of your choice)

2 cups water or vegetable broth

Pinch of salt

For the Bowls:

2 cups steamed broccoli florets

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup shelled edamame

1 ripe avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade evenly over the fillets. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

      Cook the Rice:

        - Begin by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water (or vegetable broth), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a vigorous boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid. Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and keep it covered to stay warm.

          Cook the Salmon:

            - Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. In the final minute of cooking, add the reserved marinade to the skillet, allowing it to bubble and thicken slightly while coating the salmon with a glossy glaze.

              Assemble the Bowls:

                - To serve, evenly divide the fluffy rice among four serving bowls. Place a salmon fillet on top of each serving of rice. Arrange the steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and edamame alongside the salmon. Garnish each bowl with artfully arranged slices of avocado and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top.

                  Garnish:

                    - Finish by sprinkling chopped green onions and sesame seeds over each bowl, adding a delightful crunch and flavor. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a refreshing citrus finish.

                      Enjoy your delicious Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon Bowls!
