FAQs

Can I use raw salmon for this recipe?

It’s best to use cooked salmon for safety and texture, but you can use high-quality sushi-grade salmon if you prefer it raw, ensuring it’s handled properly.

How do I get the rice crispy without it sticking to the pan?

Use a non-stick pan and press the rice firmly to create an even layer. Cooking over medium heat and not moving the rice until it crisps helps prevent sticking.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Salmon

• 6 oz cooked salmon, flaked

Rice

• 2 cups cooked sushi rice, cooled

Other Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sesame oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Rice: Ensure that the sushi rice is fully cooked and cooled, ideally refrigerated for a few hours to firm up, which helps in achieving a crispy texture when frying.
2. Crisp the Rice: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cooked rice, pressing it down gently to form a compact layer. Cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
3. Top the Rice: Carefully flip the crispy rice if desired or serve as is. Top the warm crispy rice with flaked cooked salmon and slices of fresh avocado.
4. Add Soy Sauce: Drizzle soy sauce evenly over the salmon and avocado for a salty, umami flavor boost.
5. Serve: Serve immediately while the rice is still crispy for the best texture contrast between crunchy rice and tender salmon.

Notes

• Use day-old or refrigerated rice to improve crispiness.
• Cook the salmon simply by baking or pan-searing before topping the rice.
• Add garnishes like green onions, sesame seeds, or spicy mayo for extra flavor.
• Adjust soy sauce quantity to taste or use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
