For the Salmon:

1/4 cup honey

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

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice preference)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon sesame oil (for cooking)

For the Rice:

1 cup jasmine rice (or any preferred rice)

2 cups water or vegetable broth

Pinch of salt

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup edamame, shelled

1 avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    - In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

      Cook the Rice:

        - Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water (or broth), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

          Cook the Salmon:

            - Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and add it to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. In the last minute of cooking, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and let it bubble and thicken slightly, coating the salmon.

              Assemble the Bowls:

                - To serve, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with a salmon fillet, then add steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and edamame on the side. Arrange avocado slices artfully over the bowl. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top.

                  Garnish:

                    - Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. Serve with lime wedges for a fresh finish.

                      Enjoy your delicious Sweet and Spicy Glazed Salmon Bowls!
