Salmon Sushi Bowl
Inspired by a sushi restaurant I ate at years ago, this was my go-to on their menu. I loved the simplicity of it and it just always left me satisfied and full. Essentially a deconstructed spicy-salmon-roll-in-a-bowl, this is going to be your new favorite!

Great to discover your site and all the wonderful recipes. I also absolutely love sushi and sashimi and could eat it everyday. Ever since I first tried it when living in South Beach in the early 90s.
I will try this recipe today, but really hate mayo with a passion. Thought I would try it with sesame oil, siracha and soya, what do you think?

Sushi all the way! I’m a salmon & avocado girl too, and it sounds absolutely delicious. The only place I’ve been able to find sashimi grade salmon over here though is at a market about 25 min away, so I don’t get there as often as I would like! Love the sound of sriracha mayo too. 🙂

Thanks, Claudia!! I have to drive a good 20 minutes as well to get sushi-grade salmon, but it always seems to be worth it 🙂
