Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Seasoning
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon
- 1 tablespoon Kewpie mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
Base and Vegetables
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 5 small radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 small cucumbers, chopped
- 1 fresh avocado, diced
Sauces and Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- Optional: sesame seeds for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Pat the salmon dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. Spread the Kewpie mayonnaise evenly across the top of the salmon. Then, sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning generously over the mayonnaise-coated surface.
- Bake the Salmon: Place the prepared salmon on a baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes. Cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- Flake the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the oven and use a fork to gently flake it apart into bite-sized pieces, making it easy to distribute in bowls later.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Add the flaked salmon, chopped cucumbers, thinly sliced radishes, and diced avocado on top of the rice in each bowl.
- Add Dressings and Finish: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over each bowl for added flavor. Squeeze a bit of sriracha on each serving to add a spicy kick. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for extra texture and garnish. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- You can substitute brown rice for a healthier whole grain option.
- Kewpie mayonnaise gives a unique flavor, but regular mayonnaise can be used if not available.
- Adjust the sriracha amount according to your spice preference.
- Optional sesame seeds add a nice nutty flavor and crunch.
- Ensure the salmon is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for safety and optimal texture.
