Ingredients
  
For the Salmon:
  • 4 salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ½ -inch fresh ginger, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon Kewpie Mayonnaise
For the Salmon Bowl:
  • 1½ cup sushi rice, (makes about 4 cups cooked rice)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup edamame
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
For the Sesame Dressing:
Instructions
 
  • Combine sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Add the salmon and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the excess marinade and add one tablespoon of mayo to the salmon; stir to combine.
  • Set the oven to broil, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat; arrange the salmon onto it.
  • Broil uncovered for 10-15 minutes, stirring the pieces halfway through. Cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (51°C).
  • While the salmon broils, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing and set it aside.
  • Assemble the sesame salmon bowl by dividing the sushi rice into four plates. Add a portion of the salmon, carrots, cucumber, edamame, and avocado to each plate and top them with sesame dressing.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Leave the dressing and avocado off the Salmon Bowl if you're prepping the bowls in advance.
  • Overcooked salmon can be dry and tough, so keep a close eye on it as it cooks. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon; this is the best way to ensure you don’t overcook the fish. The recommended cooking temperature for salmon is 125°F (51°C).
