📝Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (or heat a skillet for sear). Pat salmon dry. Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and garlic powder; brush on salmon.

  2. 2

    Bake 10–14 minutes (or sear 4–5 minutes per side) until salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F in the thickest part. Rest 3 minutes; cube or flake.

  3. 3

    Divide warm rice among bowls. Arrange edamame, cucumber, avocado, carrots, and cooked salmon on top.

  4. 4

    Drizzle spicy mayo; finish with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional nori or furikake.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours up to 2 days; eat cold or reheat salmon/rice to 165°F (avocado best added fresh).
