Instructions

2. Place the salmon cubes in a bowl and add ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and sesame seeds then gently toss to coat

3. Allow the salmon to rest briefly so the flavors absorb evenly

4. Heat the neutral oil in a nonstick skillet until hot

5. Add the salmon cubes to the pan with space between them and cook until caramelized on multiple sides

6. Turn the salmon carefully to keep the glaze intact and remove from heat once just cooked through

7. Arrange the salmon over the prepared salad bowls

8. Add sliced avocado alongside the salmon

9. Mix mayonnaise with hot sauce until smooth

10. Spoon or drizzle the spicy mayo over the bowl and finish with scallions and cilantro

Notes

Use center cut salmon for the best texture and even cooking

Keep the pan hot to achieve a glossy caramelized glaze

Avoid overcrowding the skillet to prevent steaming

Adjust sweetness or saltiness slightly to personal taste

Serve immediately for the best contrast of warm salmon and crisp vegetables
