Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup steamed broccoli florets

1 cup shredded carrots

1 avocado, sliced

2 green onions, chopped

Sesame seeds for garnish

Salt and black pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Reserve a couple of tablespoons of the marinade for drizzling before serving.

      - Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let sit for about 15 minutes to soak in the flavors.

        Cook the Salmon:

          - In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

            - Remove the salmon from the marinade (discard used marinade) and place the fillets in the skillet.

              - Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flakey. For a slightly caramelized finish, you can sear the salmon skin-side down for an extra minute.

                Prepare the Bowls:

                  - While the salmon is cooking, prepare your base. Divide the cooked quinoa or brown rice into two bowls.

                    - On top of the grain base, neatly arrange the steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and sliced avocado.

                      Assemble the Bowls:

                        - Once the salmon is cooked, place a fillet on top of each bowl. Drizzle with the reserved marinade for extra flavor.

                          - Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

                            Serve:

                              - Serve the bowls with lemon wedges on the side for an added zesty kick. Enjoy!
