About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz salmon fillet
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 0.5 medium carrot
- 0.25 medium red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp green onion
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 0.5 medium lime
- to taste black pepper
- to taste salt
Instructions
- 1Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp sesame oil, swirling to coat the surface.
- 2Place the salmon pieces skin‑side down in the hot pan; sear for 3–4 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh is mostly cooked through.
- 3Flip the salmon and cook the flesh side for an additional 2–3 minutes, then remove from the pan and let rest for 1 minute.
- 4Using two forks, gently flake the rested salmon into bite‑sized chunks, reserving a few pieces for garnish.
- 5While the salmon rests, prepare the dressing: in a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste.
- 6In a large mixing bowl combine the cold cooked rice, diced cucumber, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, chopped green onion, and chopped cilantro.
- 7Pour the dressing over the rice‑vegetable mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- 8Fold the flaked salmon into the salad, mixing just enough to distribute the pieces without breaking them down.
- 9Transfer the salad to serving bowls, garnish with the reserved salmon pieces, extra cilantro, and lime wedges, and serve immediately.
