Crispy Salmon Rice Bowl (Print View)
Bold layers of salmon, crisped rice, spicy mayo, and tangy kimchi create a vibrant bowl with fusion flavors.
# Components:
→ Salmon
01 - 2 salmon fillets, skin-on (each approximately 5.3 ounces)
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
04 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
→ Rice
05 - 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice, cold or leftover
→ Spicy Mayo
06 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
07 - 1 tablespoon Sriracha or other hot sauce
08 - 1 teaspoon lime juice
09 - 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
→ Toppings & Additions
10 - 1/2 cup kimchi, roughly chopped
11 - 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
12 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
13 - 1 avocado, sliced
14 - 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
15 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
16 - 1 sheet nori, cut into strips (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with salt and ground black pepper.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 4 to 5 minutes, until the skin becomes crisp. Flip salmon and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until fully cooked. Transfer fillets to a plate and let rest.
03 - Add thinly sliced garlic to the same skillet and sauté over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 1 minute. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
04 - Wipe the skillet clean and add a small amount of vegetable oil if needed. Spread cold, cooked rice evenly in the skillet and press lightly to compact. Cook undisturbed over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until the underside is golden brown and crispy.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, and toasted sesame oil until smooth and creamy.
06 - Divide crispy rice evenly between two serving bowls. Top each with large chunks of salmon, kimchi, cucumber slices, avocado, and chopped scallions. Drizzle spicy mayo over the top, then garnish with crispy garlic, toasted sesame seeds, and nori strips if desired.
07 - Serve immediately while warm.
