Crispy Salmon Rice Bowls are quick, customizable meals that combine crispy salmon, seasoned rice, fresh veggies, and creamy sauces. Inspired by sushi flavors and viral TikTok trends, they’re perfect for using up leftover salmon or making fresh for a delicious, texture-filled bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1–2 cups cooked salmon (fresh or leftover), flaked
  • 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine, sushi, or brown)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced or ribboned
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1–2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • Sriracha mayo or spicy mayo, for drizzling
  • 1–2 sheets nori, sliced into strips
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 green onion, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Flake cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces if using leftovers. If cooking fresh, sear or bake until cooked through.
  2. Heat sesame oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon pieces and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to crisp one side. Toss and crisp edges.
  3. Reheat rice if needed. In a bowl, mix rice with soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  4. Divide seasoned rice between serving bowls.
  5. Top each bowl with crispy salmon.
  6. Add avocado, cucumber, carrots, and any other toppings around the salmon.
  7. Drizzle with sriracha mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
  8. Garnish with nori strips and serve immediately.

Notes

Use dry, cooked rice for best texture—day-old rice works great.Salmon should be patted dry before crisping to prevent sticking and help browning.Customize with kimchi, pickled ginger, or furikake for extra flavor.Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook salmon in batches if needed for crispiness.Best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
