Method
 

  1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Cook according to package directions with water or broth and a pinch of salt. Let it rest while preparing the rest.
  2. Mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Cut salmon into bite-sized cubes and toss with marinade. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Dice cucumber, julienne or shred carrots, and chop green onions. Slice avocado just before serving.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated salmon and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and flaky. Avoid stirring too much.
  5. Combine mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil in a bowl. Adjust spiciness and acidity to taste.
  6. Start with rice, top with cooked salmon and vegetables. Drizzle with sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and add optional garnishes.
