- 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha

- Prepare Salmon: Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and remove skin if preferred, using kitchen shears for easier removal.
- Make Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until well combined.
- Marinate Salmon: Add salmon cubes to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour to enhance flavor.

- Thicken Sauce: Pour reserved marinade into skillet with salmon and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the salmon.
- Assemble Bowls: Place a bed of cooked white rice in bowls. Top with honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame arranged creatively.

- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and balanced flavors of your Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls.
