Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool.

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 4

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Pour over the salmon fillet and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Cook the Salmon

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Assembling the Bowl

  1. 6

    Slice the Toppings

    While the salmon is resting, slice the avocado and cucumber thinly, and chop the green onions.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Bowl

    In a bowl, layer the seasoned sushi rice as the base. Top with flaked salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, chopped green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a side of pickled ginger.
