Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. Brush or drizzle the mixture over the salmon fillets.
Step 2: Cook the Salmon
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillets for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute.

Steam the broccoli until tender and lightly cook the julienned carrot if desired. Place the cooked rice in serving bowls as the base.
Step 4: Assemble the Rice Bowl
Place the cooked salmon fillet on top of the rice. Arrange the steamed broccoli and carrot alongside the salmon. Drizzle with any remaining soy-sesame mixture from cooking, if desired.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added freshness.
