Instructions

1. Step 1: Rinse 1.5 cups jasmine rice under cold water, then combine with 3 cups water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 2 cloves minced garlic until smooth.
3. Step 3: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the fillets and brush generously with the soy-ginger glaze. Cook for another 3 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze is sticky and shiny.
4. Step 4: Divide cooked jasmine rice evenly among four bowls. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber, and one glazed salmon fillet.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle each bowl with 2 tbsp chopped scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for fresh brightness and nutty crunch.
