Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups cooked quinoa or rice (white or brown)

1 large avocado, sliced

1 cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup broccoli florets (steamed or roasted)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 green onions, sliced

Optional: lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this marinade for later use.

Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over them. Let the salmon marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).

Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and caramelized. Brush the reserved marinade over the fillets during the last minute of cooking.

Prepare the Bowls: While the salmon is cooking, prepare your base. Divide the cooked quinoa or rice among four bowls.

Add Fresh Ingredients: Top the quinoa or rice with sliced avocado, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and broccoli florets.

Assemble the Bowls: Once cooked, place a salmon fillet on top of each bowl. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the salmon.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
