  3. Toss the salmon pieces with cornstarch until lightly coated.

  5. Add the salmon pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger powder, and sesame seeds in a bowl while salmon cooks.
  7. Pour the sauce over the cooked salmon and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Distribute warm sushi rice into bowls and top with crispy salmon, avocado, cucumber, carrot, and green onions.
  9. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds or nori slices as desired.
