Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (skin-on)

1 cup sushi rice

1 1/4 cups water

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup edamame, shelled and cooked

1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

1 radish, thinly sliced (optional)

2 green onions, sliced

Sesame seeds for garnish

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.

      Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets, reduce the heat to low, and pour half of the sauce over the salmon. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, add a portion of the cooked sushi rice as the base. Top with the crispy salmon fillet, sliced avocado, cooked edamame, cucumbers, radishes (if using), and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.

          Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the remaining sauce over the assembled bowls for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy salmon and rice bowl!
