Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce for marinating
  • 1 tablespoon honey adds sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil for flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for depth of flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt to enhance flavors
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper adds spice
  • 1 pound salmon cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice hearty base
  • 1 avocado sliced for creaminess
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame for protein
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots for crunch
  • 1/2 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup pickled red onions for tanginess
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • Chopped scallions for garnish

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp Knife
  • Bowl
  • Non-stick skillet or grill pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving bowls

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon cubes to the marinade, tossing gently to coat. Let the salmon marinate for about 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon cubes, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  3. While the salmon is cooking, prepare your base by cooking the brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.
  4. In serving bowls, start with a generous scoop of brown rice. Top with cooked salmon, sliced avocado, shelled edamame, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and pickled red onions.
  5. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowls and add chopped scallions for garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best flavor, enjoy the salmon fresh rather than reheated.
  • Feel free to swap vegetables based on the season for variety.
