We recommend the Spicy Salmon Bowls for subtle flavor, visually appealing, and an eye-capturing meal. Spicy Sushi sandwich, which is salmon cubes drizzled into sweet-and-spicy sauce, sits on top of creamy coconut rice. Along with pickled cucumbers, smooth slices of avocado drizzled generously with zesty sriracha mayo completes the dish.
This was one of the recipes I came across while trying to replicate my go-to restaurant bowls. One bite and I was sold, takeout would never be on the menu again!
Required Ingredients and How to Choose Them
- Salmon: For the correct texture, cut and choose your own fresh, high-quality salmon fillets.
- Coconut Milk: The canned version. It adds the richest creaminess to rice.
- Jasmine Rice: Its fragrance matches the coconut perfectly.
- Cucumbers: Persian or English cucumbers work best for minimal effort pickling.
- Avocado: Gently press, and firm fruit slowly yields to pressure.
How To Cook: Steps In Detail
- Rice Preparation:
- Wash to achieve distinct grains that are fluffier by removing extra starch.
- Cucumber Pickling:
- Thin, uniform cuts soak up the vinegar blend more effectively.
- Salmon Seasoning:
- Gently coat to ensure cubes remain whole.
- Broiling Technique:
- For optimal caramelization, place rack six inches from the heat source.
- Mayo Mixing:
- Adjust the sriracha to your preference starting with a less amount.
- Bowl Assembly:
- Layer the bowl with rice as the base followed by the vegetables and protein.
- Final Garnishing:
- For the most significant impact, sprinkle herbs and seasonings right before serving.
