Ingredients
Salmon
  • 3 lbs. salmon or two large salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp. sesame oil
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. ground dried ginger
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
Rice
  • 1 cup sushi rice (or other short-grain white rice)
  • 1¼ or 2 cups water (depending on your method)
  • 2 tsp. rice vinegar
Pickled Veggies
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
  • 1 Persian or English cucumber, sliced
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. sugar
Sriracha Mayo
  • ⅓ cup mayo
  • 1-2 tbsp. sriracha sauce
  • Furikake seasoning for topping, optional
Instructions
  1. Cut your salmon into cubes, leaving the skin on, and season with salt, garlic powder, ginger, onion powder, and pepper. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet and cook your salmon. Place the cubes skin side down for a 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until cooked throughout. Once cooked, drizzle the soy sauce over the salmon and mix to combine.
  2. Meanwhile, cook your rice. For a stovetop method, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan and add rice once boiling. Reduce heat to low and cook until water is almost gone. Place the lid on the pot and turn off the heat. Let sit for a few minutes then fluff with a fork.
  3. To cook in the instant pot, place rice and 1¼ cups of water in the instant pot. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes, then naturally release for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
  4. Once rice is cooked, sprinkle with the rice vinegar.
  5. For the pickled veggies, place the prepared vegetables in a bowl. Add the rice vinegar, salt, and sugar and mix to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. For the sriracha mayo, combine mayo and sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Mix to combine.
  7. Divide the rice between two bowls, then top with salmon and pickled veggies. Drizzle sriracha mayo over the top and sprinkle with furikake seasoning.
  8. Enjoy!
