Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon, skinless
- 1/2 cup Corn Starch or Arrowroot Powder
- 3 tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Powder
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds

- 2 tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar

Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package instructions. Mix in rice vinegar and sea salt.
- Cut salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces and coat evenly with cornstarch.

Notes
- Ensure sesame oil is very hot before adding salmon for maximum crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the salmon; cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust cornstarch coating to your preference for crispiness.
- Add the sauce towards the end of cooking to maintain salmon crispiness.
- This recipe is meal prep friendly; cook rice and chop vegetables in advance.
- Customize with your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or leafy greens.
- For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- For vegan, substitute salmon with tofu and use agave nectar instead of honey.
- Slice avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
