How to make Honey Garlic Salmon Rice Bowls
- Pat salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Whisk soy sauce, honey, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a thin layer of oil. Sear salmon 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily or reaches 125–130°F for medium.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the honey garlic sauce around the salmon. Simmer 1–2 minutes, spooning sauce over the fish, until glossy and slightly thickened.
- Build bowls with warm rice, salmon, cucumber, and edamame. Drizzle extra sauce from the pan over everything.
- Finish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve right away so the glaze stays shiny and the salmon stays tender.
