Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Soy Sauce: Drizzle soy sauce evenly over the salmon and avocado for a salty, umami flavor boost.
- 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.
