# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Warm up the oven to 450°F (232°C).
02 - Mix salmon chunks with 3 tbsp olive oil, chipotle peppers, 2 tbsp honey, soy sauce or tamari, plus a bit of salt and pepper on a baking tray. Lay them flat and cook for 10-15 minutes until done. Pop under the broiler for the last minute to get some nice browning. Put aside when finished.
03 - Mix 3 tbsp olive oil with 2 tsp honey and apple cider vinegar in a small container. Add the cilantro, throw in some salt and pepper, then set it aside.
04 - Throw avocado cubes, cucumber pieces, hot pepper slices, cilantro, and cumin in a bowl. Pour in olive oil with lemon and lime juices, add some salt, and stir gently. Lastly, mix in your feta crumbles with care.
05 - Stir together mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, and honey until it's all blended smooth.
06 - Fill your bowls with rice first. Add salmon chunks and some avocado feta mix on top. Pour some cilantro sauce over it and drop a spoonful of chipotle mayo on. Eat right away while it's fresh!

# Additional Notes:

01 - Spice Control: Add more or less chipotle depending on how hot you want it.
02 - Switch Your Protein: Try using shrimp, chicken, or tofu instead of salmon.
03 - Make Ahead: Keep all parts in different containers and put them together just before eating.
04 - Finishing Touch: Throw on some extra cilantro, lime slices, or sesame seeds before serving.
