3. prepare the asian inspired spinach. in a small pot or large saucepan, fill with water, and place on the stove over medium-high heat. bring water to a boil and quickly blanch the spinach and immediately place in cold ice water.
4. take the spinach out of the cold water. carefully form the spinach into a ball and squeeze the excess water out.
5. set the semi-dry spinach on a cutting board and cut into small bite-sized pieces.
6. place the chopped spinach in a bowl and add sesame oil, coconut aminos, salt, green onion, and sesame seeds. stir to combine and set aside.
7. prepare the salmon. place a frying pan over the stove on medium-high heat. drizzle a little sesame oil and then begin to sear the salmon. cook on each side for 2-4 minutes depending on thickness. (optional: you can pour the leftover marinade on top as you cook)
8. prepare your bowl. place the white rice at the bottom of your bowl as a base. (optional: drizzle rice vinegar over the rice as a "dressing") next add the asian inspired spinach, cucumbers, avocado, and edamame. lastly, add the salmon and you can top with peppers for spice.
9. optional last step: garnish your bowl with sesame seeds and drizzle a little more rice vinegar on top.
