Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 avocado, sliced

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

2 green onions, sliced

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Start by preparing the spicy marinade for the salmon. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

    Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

      While the salmon is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the avocado, cucumber, and chop the green onions. Set them aside.

        Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated salmon in the skillet skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

          Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

            To assemble the rice bowl, start with a generous scoop of jasmine rice at the bottom of each bowl.

              Arrange the sliced salmon on top of the rice, then add the avocado, cucumber, and shredded carrots around the salmon.

                Sprinkle the sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top for added crunch and flavor.

                  Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a fragrant finish.
