Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup short grain rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 fresh salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Sriracha sauce (to taste)
Instructions
- Rinse rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions (15-20 minutes) until tender but firm.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, spread cooked rice evenly in the pan and press down gently. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden brown on one side; then flip.
- Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In another pan over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil and sear skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until flaky.
- Drizzle soy sauce over the flipped rice, allowing it to absorb while crisping for an additional 5 minutes.
- Assemble bowls: scoop crispy rice into bowls, top with flaked salmon, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and drizzle with Sriracha if desired.
