# Steps:
01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha until fully combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of marinade in a separate container for finishing drizzle.
02 - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour remaining marinade over salmon, turning to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
03 - Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
04 - While rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add edamame, carrots, bell pepper, and bok choy. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Transfer to a plate.
05 - Remove salmon from marinade and discard used marinade. Add a splash of oil to the same skillet if needed. Sear salmon fillets over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and glazed. Top with sesame seeds.
06 - Divide cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top each with stir-fried vegetables, one salmon fillet, avocado slices, green onions, and additional garnishes. Drizzle with reserved marinade and serve with lime wedges.
