Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger until combined and fragrant.
Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) on a lined baking sheet, brush generously with the honey-soy glaze, and bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and glaze is caramelized.
Step 3: Meanwhile, rinse 2 cups uncooked white rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions. When done, fluff rice and stir in 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil and 2 tbsp sesame seeds.
Step 4: Divide the sesame rice among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with a baked salmon fillet.
Step 5: Garnish with 1 cup julienned cucumber, 1 cup julienned carrot, and 2 sliced green onions. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste, and drizzle any remaining honey-soy glaze over the bowls before serving.
