Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 cooked salmon filets (about 4 oz. each)
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 ice cube
  • 1/2 avocado, diced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce to taste, Tamari or coconut aminos also work
  • 1-2 tbsp kewpie mayonnaise to taste, See Note 1
  • 2 tsp sriracha, to taste optional
  • kimchi, to taste optional, See Note 2
  • sesame seeds, to taste optional
  • 12 roasted seaweed sheets optional, See Note 3

Instructions
 

  • In a microwave safe bowl, flake your cold salmon until it's broken up into small pieces. Using a fork works best.
  • Add your leftover rice right over the salmon, then place one cube cube in the center, nestling it into the rice.
  • Cover with parchment paper or a paper plate (just make sure steam can escape) and microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
  • Remove bowl from microwave and discard any remaining ice.
  • Add soy sauce, mayonnaise and sriracha (if using) and mix with rice/salmon until combined.
  • Top the dish with diced avocado and more mayonnaise, sriracha (optional) soy sauce to taste. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like!
  • At this point, you can enjoy the rice bowl as-is OR add kimchi and wrap the rice mixture in your seaweed pieces and enjoy as mini-wraps!

Notes

Note 1: I am able to find this delicious Japanese mayo at my regular chain grocery store now! But if you can't find it, regular mayo works just fine. Even better, make the sriracha mayo from my shrimp bowl recipe!
Note 2: I like kimchee for the tang and crunch but I totally know it's not everyone's thing. Crunchy carrots or cucumber would be great too!
Note 3: The seaweed is optional and only if you want to follow the TikTok video EXACTLY and wrap the salmon/rice with the seaweed. The salmon rice bowl can be enjoyed without the seaweed, too!
