Slice 1 pound of salmon into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Gather ingredients for the marinade: 1 crushed garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 2 teaspoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons tamari or low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil (optional).

Whisk the marinade ingredients together thoroughly.

Add the salmon cubes to a bowl and pour the marinade over the salmon. Mix to coat the salmon in the marinade.

Cover the bowl with foil and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.

Arrange the salmon pieces on the baking sheet.

Bake at 400° F for 12 to 15 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked.

Assemble the bowls by evenly distributing the ingredients among four bowls: 2 cups of cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice or quinoa, 1/2 to 1 cup of edamame, 1/3 cup shredded carrots, 1 to 2 sliced green onions, 1 to 2 sliced Persian cucumbers, and 1 small sliced avocado.

Top with optional sesame seeds and drizzle with healthy Sriracha mayo with Greek yogurt if desired.
