Ingredients
Scale
Rice Base
- 1 cup sushi rice
Protein
- 4 oz fresh cooked or smoked salmon, diced
Toppings and Sauces
- 2 tablespoons spicy mayo (mayonnaise mixed with sriracha)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned or sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Soy sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cook the rice according to package instructions or with a rice cooker, usually about 1 cup rice to 1.25 cups water. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly.
- Prepare the spicy mayo: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until well combined, adjusting the heat to your preference.
- Prepare the salmon: Dice the fresh cooked or smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
- Assemble the bowl: Place the cooked sushi rice as the base of the bowl. Arrange the diced salmon on top, followed by sliced avocado and julienned or sliced cucumber for freshness and crunch.
- Add toppings and garnish: Drizzle the spicy mayo evenly over the bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a nutty flavor and a final touch of soy sauce to enhance the umami.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your spicy salmon sushi bowl fresh for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a healthier version, use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to make the spicy mayo.
- You can substitute smoked salmon with fresh sushi-grade raw salmon if preferred.
- Feel free to add additional toppings like pickled ginger or seaweed strips for extra flavor.
- Use gluten-free soy sauce if you need this dish to be gluten-free.
- Make sure sushi rice is properly rinsed before cooking to avoid overly sticky rice.
