1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons chicken or vegetable stock

Instructions
Start by cooking 1 cup of jasmine rice in 1 1/2 cups of salted water according to the instructions on the package. Once cooked remove it from the heat. Add the juice of half a lime, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, 1 tablespoon of honey and 3 tablespoons of chicken or vegetable stock. Mix everything well. Set it aside.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil greasing it lightly.
Take 1 pound of salmon fillets. Rub some oil onto the skinless side. Place them on the baking sheet with the skin side down.
In a bowl combine 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey and 2 tablespoons of cilantro. Rub this mixture onto the salmon fillets, season them with salt as desired and then bake them for 12 to 15 minutes until they’re cooked through.
While the salmon is baking you can prepare the avocado topping. Start by cutting an avocado in half and removing its pit and skin. Chop it into pieces. Place them in a bowl.
Add to the bowl with avocado; 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon minced cilantro, quarter teaspoon chili powder (adjust based on your level of heat) and salt to taste. Gently mix everything together.
Now it’s time for assembly! Take two bowls. Divide the rice evenly between them.
Next place one salmon fillet on top of each bowl containing rice.
Finally top off each bowl with a portion, of avocado mixture.
Now you can enjoy your Avocado Salmon Rice Bowl!
