Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

      - Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then pour the marinade over the salmon. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.

        Cook the Quinoa:

          - In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil over high heat.

            - Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.

              Prepare the Vegetables:

                - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli, snap peas, and red bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper.

                  - Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until just tender but still vibrant and crisp. Set aside.

                    Cook the Salmon:

                      - In the same skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly caramelized.

                        - Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and let it simmer for another minute to thicken slightly.

                          Assemble the Bowls:

                            - Divide the quinoa among four bowls, topping each with a portion of sautéed vegetables and a salmon fillet.

                              - Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the skillet, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

                                Serve:

                                  - Enjoy your Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls warm, and savor the delightful combination of sweet and spicy flavors.
