Makes 4 servings

All the flavor of salmon rolls, minus the finicky rolling - that's the beauty of these easy-to-make rice bowls. Furikake is a dry blend of sesame seeds, seaweed and dried fish. Look for it in specialty Asian grocery stores or make your own using our easy recipe; alternatively, you can simply substitute sesame seeds.

Ingredients
1 cup short-grain brown rice, rinsed
¾ tsp sea salt, divided
2 tbsp each black and white sesame seeds + additional for garnish
4 4-oz boneless skin-on wild Alaskan salmon filets (such as coho or sockeye; 1 inch thick), patted dry- Run your finger along the flesh side of the salmon filet to check for any pin bones. If you find any, pull them out with a clean set of tweezers.
¼ tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp grape seed oil or mild oil
2 tsp furikake* or toasted white sesame seeds
2 small carrots, cut into ribbons (TIP: Use a vegetable peeler to cut the carrots lengthwise into ribbons.)
1 Persian, Japanese or other variety of small cucumber, thinly sliced
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced (TIP: If slicing in advance, place in citrus juice to avoid browning.)
1 green onion, white and thinly sliced
4 tsp drained jarred pickled sushi ginger
12 pieces roasted seaweed snack, for serving (or substitute with nori sheets cut into
2-inch squares), optional

​
Soy Drizzle
2 tbsp mirin
4 tsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

Instructions
1. In a saucepan, combine rice, ¼ tsp salt and enough water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, spread black and white sesame seeds on a plate; set aside. Mist flesh side of fish with cooking spray; sprinkle with pepper and remaining ½ tsp salt. Gently press flesh side of fish into sesame seeds.

3. In a large nonstick skillet on medium, heat oil. Add fish, skin side up, and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until skin is crispy and flesh is opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate; peel off and discard skin. Cover to keep warm; set aside.

4. Whisk together all soy drizzle ingredients.

5. Divide rice among bowls; sprinkle with furikake. Top with carrots, cucumber, avocado, onion, pickled ginger, seaweed (if using) and fish, dividing evenly. Drizzle with soy mixture. Garnish with additional black and white sesame seeds.

*You can purchase furikake, but we prefer to make our own to avoid preservatives. Simply combine 2 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds, 1 nori sheet, crumbled, ¼ tsp sea salt or to taste, and ¼ tsp organic evaporated cane juice, or to taste. Use in this recipe or as a seasoning for any Asian dish.
