Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and the 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and then gently fold in the rice vinegar and sugar. Let it cool to room temperature.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the salmon by cutting it into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic. Add the cubed salmon to the bowl and gently mix until the salmon is well-coated with the dressing. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Slice the cucumber into thin half-moons and dice the avocado. Prepare the edamame according to package instructions, usually by boiling them for a few minutes.
Divide the cooled rice into two bowls. Arrange the marinated salmon, cucumber slices, avocado, and edamame over the rice, distributing evenly between the bowls.
Finely chop the scallions and sprinkle them over the bowls along with the toasted sesame seeds and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, low-sodium salmon poke bowl!
