Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 fresh salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup pickled ginger
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons sriracha mixed with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise for spicy mayo

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Start by cooking your jasmine or sushi rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork when done, and keep warm while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Cook the Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan with a bit of oil over medium heat, then cook salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
  3. Prepare Toppings: While salmon cooks, slice avocado, cucumber, and green onions. Set aside pickled ginger and sesame seeds for garnish. If you like spicy, mix sriracha with mayo for a quick spicy mayo drizzle.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of warm rice in your bowl. Place the cooked salmon on top, then arrange avocado slices, cucumber, and pickled ginger neatly around. Drizzle soy sauce or tamari, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Finish with a drizzle of spicy mayo if desired.

Notes

  • Use the freshest salmon you can find for the best flavor and texture.
  • Let the cooked rice cool slightly for better texture and to avoid mushiness under warm toppings.
  • Keep salmon skin on when cooking for a crispy, flavorful layer.
  • Season salmon simply to let its natural flavors shine through.
  • Experiment with different sauces or make your own to keep this recipe exciting.
