- jasmine or basmati rice, cooked for serving
- 2 pounds salmon, cut into chunks
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅓ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Prepare the quick pickled onions and add the cucumbers to the mixture. This can be done ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Cook rice so it’s ready for serving.
- Cut the salmon into 1-inch chunks and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
- In a large cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the seasoned salmon in a single layer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Carefully flip the salmon and cook the other side until golden brown.
