Description
Crispy Salmon Rice is a delicious and satisfying dish featuring flaky, pan-seared salmon served over crispy rice with a flavorful blend of sauces, avocado, and fresh garnishes. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a quick yet elegant meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin removed
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying rice)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to make the dressing.
- In another bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha for a spicy mayo sauce.
- Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked rice and spread evenly. Press down with a spatula and cook until the bottom is crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Top the crispy rice with flaked salmon and drizzle with the soy-sesame dressing.
- Add sliced avocado, a drizzle of spicy mayo, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately while the rice is still crisp.
Notes
- Day-old rice works best for getting that perfect crispy texture.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your spice preference.
- Use leftover salmon for a quick version of this recipe.
- For added crunch, top with fried shallots or nori strips.
