Yield
1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 (6 oz.) portion wild sockeye or coho salmon
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Japanese-style mayo
- 1 to 2 teaspoons chili sauce (like sriracha or gochujang)
- A couple scoops of cooked short-grain rice
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Furikake
- Ripe avocado, sliced
- Roasted seaweed, for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Gently pat salmon fillet dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel. Drizzle with olive oil to coat, then bake for 6 to 8 minutes until fillet flakes easily with a fork.
3. Transfer salmon to a medium bowl and allow to rest until cool enough to handle. Remove skin. Then, flake salmon together with cream cheese and mayo until well-combined. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of chili sauce to taste.
4. In a separate bowl, season cooked rice with vinegar, sugar, and salt, stirring to combine.
5. Layer rice into a small baking dish or small pan (something that holds ~3 cups). The layer should be about an inch thick. Sprinkle the rice with furikake, then spoon the flaked salmon mixture on top, spreading in an even layer. Transfer to oven and bake for 7 minutes at 375F.
6. Remove from oven and garnish the top of the dish with a drizzle of mayo and chili sauce. Top with avocado slices. Serve with roasted seaweed, if desired, or enjoy with a spoon.
