Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce, or more to taste
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon honey, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 medium lime, juiced
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup matchstick carrots
1 cup snow peas, trimmed
1 medium avocado, sliced
1/2 medium red bell pepper, julienned
3 stalks green onion, chopped
1/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and place salmon fillets on top.
2 Stir soy sauce, avocado oil, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, honey, sesame oil, and lime juice together in a small bowl; brush over salmon fillets. Set remaining sauce aside for dressing.
3 Bake salmon in the center of the preheated oven until it flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 15 minutes.
4 Divide rice evenly between 4 bowls and top with salmon fillets. Distribute carrots, snow peas, avocado, and bell peppers evenly between the bowls; sprinkle green onion over top.
5 Stir reserved soy sauce mixture with peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, and garlic powder; add water until dressing reaches desired consistency. Drizzle over the bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
