Ingredients

Salmon and Rice

  • Fresh salmon fillets (sushi-grade recommended)
  • Cooked jasmine or short-grain rice

Sauce

  • Mayonnaise
  • Sriracha (adjust to taste)

Veggies and Toppings

  • Avocado slices
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Radish, thinly sliced
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds (toasted if desired)
  • Soy sauce or tamari (optional)
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook your preferred rice according to the package instructions. Use jasmine or short-grain rice for a soft, sticky texture that pairs perfectly with the salmon.
  2. Make the Spicy Mayo Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha, adjusting the amount of sriracha to achieve your desired spice level. This creamy sauce adds a rich, fiery flavor to the salmon and the bowl.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Lightly season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Pan-sear them over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through but still tender. Brush or drizzle some of the spicy mayo sauce on top to infuse heat and flavor.
  4. Prepare the Veggies: Thinly slice cucumber, radish, and avocado. Chop green onions finely. These fresh ingredients add a crisp contrast and balance the richness of the salmon.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Place a base of warm rice in your serving bowl. Arrange the salmon fillets on top, then neatly place the sliced veggies around. Drizzle extra spicy mayo over the bowl, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime for brightness.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade salmon for the best texture and safety, especially if you prefer rare or raw styles.
  • Do not overcook the salmon; keep cooking times short to maintain moisture and flakiness.
  • Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan before sprinkling to enhance their nutty flavor.
  • Prepare the spicy mayo sauce a day ahead to deepen its flavor if desired.
  • Rinse rice well before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
