Flaky salmon and warm rice get folded with spicy mayo and soy sauce, then scooped up with crisp nori, cool cucumber and avocado.
Warm rice catches every bit of salmon in a Salmon Rice Bowl, so a small amount of sauce seasons the whole bowl. Roasting the fish keeps the method hands-off while you slice the cool toppings; breaking it up at the table gives a mix of chunky and finely flaked bites.
Freshly cooked rice works just as well as leftovers. Keep the nori dry until serving so it stays crisp enough to scoop, and choose ripe avocado that yields gently when pressed.
Method
Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set the salmon on a lined sheet pan, rub with vegetable oil and salt, and roast for , until it flakes easily and reaches 145°F.
Place the cooked rice in a microwave-safe bowl with the water. Cover loosely and microwave for , stirring halfway, until steaming hot throughout.
Mix the mayonnaise and sriracha. Divide the rice between bowls, flake the salmon over it and drizzle with soy sauce and the spicy mayonnaise.
Add the avocado and cucumber. Mix the salmon into the rice as you eat, using squares of nori to scoop up mouthfuls.
