# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until fully combined.
03 - For a thicker glaze consistency, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water and whisk into the glaze mixture.
04 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 - Place salmon fillets on the prepared sheet. Brush generously with soy-ginger glaze, reserving remaining glaze for finishing.
06 - Bake salmon for 12 to 14 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
07 - Transfer remaining glaze to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until thickened, approximately 1 to 2 minutes if cornstarch is used. Remove from heat.
08 - Julienne carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin, uniform matchsticks.
09 - Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top each with a baked salmon fillet, arranging julienned vegetables and edamame around the salmon.
10 - Drizzle bowls with reduced glaze. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and lime wedges if desired.
