Ingredients

  • For the Bowl:
  • 1 cup sushi rice or short-grain rice
  • 1/2 lb 225g fresh salmon, sushi-grade if possible, cut into bite-size cubes
  • 1/2 avocado sliced or cubed
  • 1 small cucumber julienned or sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2-3 radishes thinly sliced
  • 1 sheet nori optional, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • For the Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • Optional: sriracha or chili flakes if you like a kick
  • Optional Extras:
  • Pickled ginger
  • Edamame
  • Green onions
  • Lime wedges for squeezing

Instructions

  • Cook the rice. Rinse your rice until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly and mix in a splash of rice vinegar for that authentic sushi tang.
  • Prep the salmon and veggies. While the rice cooks, cut salmon into cubes, slice avocado, cucumber, radishes, and shred the carrots. If using nori, cut it into thin strips.
  • Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Add sriracha if you like things spicy. Taste and adjust—your sauce, your rules.
  • Assemble the bowl. Spoon rice into your bowl first. Arrange salmon, avocado, cucumber, carrots, radish, and nori on top like a rainbow.
  • Drizzle and garnish. Pour the sauce over the bowl, sprinkle sesame seeds, and optionally add pickled ginger or lime wedges. Boom—your sushi bowl is ready to eat.
