Easy Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon, Cucumber, And Avocado Rice Bowls Recipe
- 4 salmon fillets, about 5 ounces (140g) each
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable or canola oil
- 4 cups cooked white or brown rice (about 680g cooked rice)
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 Persian or Japanese cucumber, diced
- 6 to 8 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup (120ml)
- or store-bought teriyaki sauce
- Furikake and/or toasted sesame seeds, for serving (see note)
- Press salmon fillets between paper towels to dry surfaces thoroughly. Season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add salmon fillets, skin side down. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, pressing gently on back of fillets to ensure good contact between the skin and the pan, until skin is rendered and crisp, about 6 minutes. If skin shows resistance when you attempt to lift with a spatula, allow it to continue to cook until it lifts easily.
- Flip salmon and cook on second side until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120u0b0F for medium-rare or 130u0b0F for medium, about 1 minute longer. Transfer salmon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Divide rice evenly between 4 serving bowls. Top with diced avocado, cucumber, and scallions. Top each with a salmon fillet and spoon sauce on top, using the back of a spoon to evenly glaze each fillet. Sprinkle with furikake and/or sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
