Ingredients

2 cups sushi rice

2 1/2 cups water

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skinless and deboned

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese rice wine)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 avocado, sliced

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 cup edamame, shelled

1/4 cup pickled ginger

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Wasabi and soy sauce for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Marinate the Salmon: While the rice is cooking, prepare the salmon. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Cook the Salmon: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and flaky. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Veggies: While the salmon is cooling, slice the avocado and cucumber, and scatter the edamame.

Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, start with a scoop of sushi rice as the base. Arrange slices of salmon on top, followed by the avocado, cucumber, edamame, and pickled ginger. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Finish with Sauce: Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for extra flavor or serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side.
