Cook the Brown Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water. Combine rice with water or vegetable broth and a pinch of salt in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated salmon and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and caramelized. For extra flavor and crunch, sprinkle with sesame seeds just before removing from the heat.

Assemble the Bowl: Start with a scoop of brown rice, layer on the honey-glazed salmon, and add avocado slices, cucumber, and shredded carrots for a burst of fresh flavor and color.

Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions, and add a lime wedge on the side for an extra touch of brightness.
