Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, paprika, and mayo until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the diced cucumber, avocado, a drizzle of olive oil, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a touch of honey.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the honey glaze.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Assemble your bowls with brown rice, roasted salmon, and cucumber salad. Drizzle remaining glaze over the top.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
