10 - 2 cups jasmine or sushi rice
11 - 2.5 cups water
12 - Pinch of salt
→ Vegetables
13 - 1 cup shelled edamame (frozen or fresh)
14 - 1 cup shredded carrots
15 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
16 - 1 cup baby bok choy or snap peas, sliced
17 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced

# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate container for drizzling after cooking.
02 - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon, turning to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
03 - Rinse rice under cold water. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
04 - While rice cooks, heat sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add edamame, carrots, bell pepper, and bok choy. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender. Transfer vegetables to a plate and set aside.
05 - Remove salmon from marinade and discard used marinade. In the same skillet, add a splash of oil if needed and sear salmon fillets over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
06 - Divide cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top each with stir-fried vegetables, one salmon fillet, avocado slices, green onions, and additional garnishes. Drizzle with reserved marinade and serve with lime wedges.
