02 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
04 - 1 tablespoon honey
05 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
06 - 1 clove garlic, minced

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Add salmon cubes and marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
03 - Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork.
04 - Arrange marinated salmon cubes on the prepared tray. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until just cooked through and slightly caramelized.
05 - In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth.
06 - Divide jasmine rice among four bowls. Top with baked salmon, edamame, cucumber, and avocado. Drizzle with sriracha mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready in 35 minutes, which means you can make something restaurant-quality on a random weeknight without the guilt.
  • The spicy-creamy mayo drizzle is genuinely addictive and transforms everything underneath it into something you'll crave.
02 -
  • Marinating for the full 15 minutes matters—I once skipped to 5 minutes and the salmon tasted one-dimensional, like I'd just baked fish instead of creating something with intention.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork the moment it's done cooking; if you leave it compressed under the lid, it becomes gluey and the whole bowl suffers.
03 -
  • Make the sriracha mayo ahead of time and keep it in a small jar in your fridge—it lasts days and suddenly every grain bowl feels elevated.
  • Buy pre-cooked edamame if your grocery store has them; it saves 10 minutes and reduces your pot count on busy nights.
