Ingredients
Scale
Rice Base
- 1 cup sushi rice
Salmon Mixture
- 1 pound fresh salmon, diced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon wasabi
Vegetables & Garnishes
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1/4 cup crunchy tempura flakes
Instructions
- Cook the rice: Prepare the sushi rice according to the package instructions, ensuring it is fully cooked and slightly sticky. Once done, allow it to cool to room temperature to prevent wilting the fresh ingredients later.

- Assemble the bowl: Place the cooled sushi rice at the bottom of a serving bowl as the base layer.
- Add salmon mixture: Spoon the marinated salmon evenly over the rice to create a flavorful layer.
- Garnish: Top the bowl with fresh avocado slices, julienned cucumber, and a generous sprinkle of crunchy tempura flakes for texture contrast.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors and maintain the crunchiness of the toppings.
Notes
- Use very fresh sushi-grade salmon to ensure safety and best taste.
- Adjust wasabi quantity according to your spice preference.
- For an extra touch, drizzle additional soy sauce or spicy mayo before serving.
- Can be served with pickled ginger and a side of soy sauce for dipping.
- Tempura flakes add crunch but can be omitted for a lighter option.
