Flaked salmon is mixed with rice, soy sauce, mayo, sriracha, and sesame oil, and topped with slices of avocado. Here are more details about the ingredients you need to make this easy and quick salmon recipe: 

  • Cooked salmon: baked salmon, pan-seared salmon, any leftover salmon works great.

  • Ice cube: It will provide moisture to steam the rice and salmon without having to add water to the plate.
  • Sesame oil: Just a teaspoon, to get that delicious umami favor when paired with soy.
  • Soy sauce: We recommend using low-sodium soy sauce. Remember that your cooked salmon might be already seasoned.
  • Mayonnaise: You can use regular mayo or try the Japanese kewpie mayo for a change.
  • Sriracha: optional but highly recommended!
  • Avocado: Avocado adds a touch of green and extra creaminess to the salmon rice bowl.
  • Sesame seeds: We like toasted sesame seeds because it adds a nice smokey flavor to the salmon rice bowl.

  • Enjoy the salmon rice with crispy seaweed and kimchi.
  • Fry the rice in a skillet with a dollop of butter instead of steaming for a crispier version of the salmon rice bowl.
