Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz each)

1 cup sushi rice

1 1/4 cups water

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cucumber, julienned

1/4 cup radishes, thinly sliced

2 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Soy sauce or tamari (for drizzling)

Spicy mayonnaise (for drizzling, optional)

Pickled ginger (for serving, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Sushi Rice:

- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

- Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

- In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt; stir until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice, being careful not to mash the grains. Allow the rice to cool slightly.

Cook the Salmon:

- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

- In a non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.

- Carefully flip the salmon and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily.

Assemble the Bowls:

- Divide the prepared sushi rice among two bowls as the base.

- Top each bowl with slices of crispy salmon, avocado, julienned cucumber, radishes, and chopped green onions.
