Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound salmon, skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup pickled red onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • chopped scallions (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Spatula or tongs
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until combined.
  2. Add the cubed salmon to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes to marinate.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer and cook about 3 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly golden; work in batches if needed to avoid crowding.
  5. Divide the cooked brown rice among four bowls.
  6. Top each bowl with the cooked salmon, sliced avocado, edamame, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and pickled red onions.
  7. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped scallions over each bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate the salmon only 10 minutes to avoid over-marinating delicate fish.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt level.
  • Cook salmon in batches if your skillet is small.
  • Serve immediately for best texture.
