Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked sushi rice or short-grain rice (warm or at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup fresh mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots or radish (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey or agave

Instructions

  1. Rinse 3/4 cup sushi or short-grain rice under cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to pot, add 1 cup water, cover, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Cut salmon fillet into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in medium bowl. Add soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and sliced green onions. Toss gently to coat and let marinate about 10 minutes.
  3. Peel and dice mango into bite-sized pieces. Dice avocado just before serving. Thinly slice cucumber and shred carrots or radish if using. Keep separate for assembly.
  4. In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and honey or agave. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust heat and sweetness to taste.
  5. In serving bowl, place warm sushi rice as base. Arrange marinated salmon cubes on one side. Add mango, avocado, cucumber, and shredded veggies around salmon.
  6. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top. Drizzle spicy mayo generously but not overwhelmingly across the bowl.
  7. Optionally, add extra green onion slices or a lime wedge for squeezing. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not over-marinate salmon to avoid mushiness; 10 minutes is ideal. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts. Toast sesame seeds fresh for best aroma. Assemble just before serving to keep avocado fresh and crunchy. Substitute tamari or coconut aminos for soy sauce if avoiding soy. Use avocado oil-based mayo for dairy-free option. Mango can be swapped with pineapple or other seasonal fruits.
