Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package directions or in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water.
- While the rice cooks, prepare the teriyaki glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry. Place them in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki glaze over them, ensuring they are coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets (discarding excess marinade) and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky. Brush with the remaining glaze during the last minute of cooking.
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the sushi rice seasoning. In a small saucepan, gently heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve. Do not boil.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gradually pour the vinegar mixture over the hot rice, gently folding it in with a rice paddle or spatula until evenly distributed. Let the rice cool slightly.
- Flake the cooked teriyaki salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the seasoned sushi rice between two bowls. Top with flaked teriyaki salmon, edamame, cucumber, shredded carrots, and pickled ginger.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Drizzle with sriracha mayo, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute the salmon with pan-fried tofu or tempeh marinated in the teriyaki sauce. Feel free to add other favorite sushi toppings like avocado, nori strips, or a drizzle of spicy mayo.
