  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: Asian-Inspired

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (skin on or off)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, jasmine, or sushi rice)
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Optional toppings: avocado, cucumber, pickled onions, shredded carrots, sesame seeds, spicy mayo, fried egg, sriracha, nori strips

Instructions

  1. Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear salmon skin-side down (if using skin-on) for 4–5 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook 2–3 minutes more. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add more oil to the pan if needed. Sauté garlic until fragrant.
  5. Stir in cooked rice, breaking up clumps and allowing it to crisp slightly. Drizzle with soy sauce and stir to combine.
  6. Flake salmon into chunks and return to the pan over rice.
  7. Add toppings like avocado, cucumber, green onions, and spicy mayo.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with sesame seeds and an optional drizzle of sriracha or extra soy sauce.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for crispier texture.
  • Swap soy sauce with teriyaki or hoisin for different flavor profiles.
  • Top with a fried egg or kimchi for added depth.
  • Great use for leftover cooked salmon—just flake and reheat.
