Ingredients:

180g (6.5oz) sushi rice
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar
0.5 tsp fine salt
30ml (1fl oz) maple syrup
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp gluten free tamari soy sauce
0.5 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic non-alcoholic mirin
2 salmon fillets (approximately 150g or 5oz each)
2 tbsp sesame seeds
4 spring onions
150g (5oz) edamame beans (shelled)
Half a ripe avocado

Preparing the Sushi Rice

Step 1: Rinse and Cook the Rice

Begin extract by thoroughly rinsing your sushi rice. This is a crucial step for achieving that perfect sticky texture that holds sushi rice together. Place the 180g of sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it under cold running water. Swirl the rice with your hand and continue rinsing until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch, which can make the rice gummy. Once rinsed, transfer the rice to a medium saucepan. Add 240ml (about 1 cup) of cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot tightly, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time; the steam trapped inside cooks the rice perfectly. After 15 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for another 10 minutes. This steaming period allows the rice to fully absorb any remaining moisture and become tender.

Step 2: Season the Sushi Rice

While the rice is steaming, prepare the sushi vinegar. In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp of rice vinegar, 1 tsp of caster sugar, and 0.5 tsp of fine salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Once the rice has finished steaming, carefully transfer it to a large, shallow, non-metallic bowl. A wooden or plastic bowl is ideal as metal can react with the vinegar. Gradually pour the seasoned vinegar mixture over the hot rice. Using a rice paddle or a wooden spoon, gently “cut” through the rice with a slicing motion, fanning it as you go. This helps to cool the rice quickly and evenly, allowing it to absorb the vinegar without becoming mushy. Continue this process until the rice is glossy and has cooled to room temperature. Be gentle to avoid breaking the rice grains.

Making the Teriyaki Salmon

Step 3: Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze

Now, let’s create that irresistible teriyaki glaze for our salmon. In a small saucepan, combine the 30ml (1fl oz) of maple syrup, 1 tsp of sesame oil, 2 tsp of gluten-free tamari soy sauce, 0.5 tsp of garlic granules,non-alcoholic alternativetsp of non-non-alcoholic mirinolicolic mirin. Stir these ingredients together thoroughly. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and gently bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it bubble away for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly into a syrupy consistency. This glaze will coat the salmon beautifully and infuse it with sweet and savory flavors. Be careful not to let it boil too vigorously, as it can burn easily due to the sugar content.

Step 4: Cook the Salmon and Glaze It

Pat your 2 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to create a better sear. Season them lightly with salt and pepper if desired (though the tamari will add saltiness). Heat a tablespoon of neutral oil (like vegetable or canola oil) in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillets, skin-side down if they have skin, into the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, depending on their thickness, until they are almost cooked through. Reduce the heat to low, then generously brush the cooked side of the salmon with the prepared teriyaki glaze. Let the glaze caramelize slightly for about 30 seconds to a minute, spooning any excess glaze from the pan over the salmon. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes.

Assembling the Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bowl

Step 5: Prepare the Remaining Bowl Components

While the salmon rests and the rice cools, let’s prepare the other elements of our delicious sushi bowl. First, prepare the spring onions. Wash and trim the roots and the very tips of the 4 spring onions. Thinly slice them crosswise. You’ll want to use both the white and green parts. Next, prepare the edamame. If you’re using frozen shelled edamame beans, simply blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain. If using fresh, steam them until tender. For the avocado, carefully cut the half ripe avocado into bite-sized slices or cubes. To prevent browning, you can toss the avocado lightly with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice if you’re not assembling immediately, but for this recipe, we’ll add it just before serving. Finally, toast your 2 tbsp of sesame seeds. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they are fragrant and lightly golden. This takes only a minute or two, so watch them closely to prevent burning.

Step 6: Assemble Your Sushi Bowls

Now for the best part – assembly! Divide the seasoned sushi rice evenly between two serving bowls. You should have a generous base of perfectly cooked and seasoned rice in each bowl. Arrange the cooked teriyaki salmon fillets on top of the rice. You can leave them whole or flake them into pieces, whichever you prefer. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds generously over the salmon and rice. Scatter the prepared edamame beans around the bowls. Garnish with the thinly sliced spring onions, adding a fresh, vibrant crunch. Finally, artfully arrange the avocado slices or cubes in each bowl. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki glaze from the pan over the salmon and rice, if desired, for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and tastes.
