A delightful and easy recipe for a Baked Salmon Sushi Bowl, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 sheets nori, cut into strips
- Pickled ginger, for serving (optional)
- Wasabi, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 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. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the salmon. Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Brush the mixture over the salmon.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, fluff the cooked sushi rice with a fork. Divide the rice among serving bowls.
- Top each bowl of rice with flaked salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and nori strips on top of each bowl. Serve with pickled ginger and wasabi on the side, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a drizzle of sriracha over the top before serving.
- You can also substitute the salmon with cooked shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
