# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger, garlic, and black pepper until well combined.
02 - Add salmon cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature.
03 - Rinse rice under cold running water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
04 - Arrange marinated salmon cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Broil or bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned at edges.
05 - While salmon cooks, slice cucumber, shred carrots, slice avocado, and thinly slice green onions. Arrange all vegetables and garnishes in separate small bowls for easy assembly.
06 - Divide cooked rice evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with broiled salmon, cucumber, carrots, edamame, avocado, and green onions. Drizzle with chosen sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
07 - Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over each bowl.
