Cook the grain base — Cook brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Season lightly with salt and a drop of sesame oil.
Grill the salmon — Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a light spray of avocado oil. Grill salmon 3–4 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through (internal temp 63°C / 145°F).
Prepare the vegetables — While salmon grills, slice cucumber, avocado, and shred cabbage. Toss edamame with a pinch of sea salt.
Make the dressing — Whisk sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame seeds together in a small bowl.
