These Salmon Sushi Bowls have all of the flavors you love about a sushi roll all piled up into a bowl and drizzled with spicy mayo and eel sauce! This easy salmon bowl is loaded with flavor!
Salmon Sushi Bowls
We love making sushi at home but it can be time consuming and difficult to do. This salmon sushi bowl solves the problem! It is easy to throw together with no fancy rolling or slicing like regular sushi.
This sushi rice bowl is loaded with flavor and tastes just like a salmon sushi roll. The bowl is loaded with homemade seasoned sushi rice, pickled carrots, sliced cucumber, avocado and salmon. The salmon gets seared over high heat to get a golden brown crust on the outside. Then it get’s brushed with eel (unagi) sauce then transferred to the oven to finish cooking. The bowl then gets drizzled with a homemade spicy mayo and eel sauce. The spicy mayo makes the bowl. It’s creamy, tangy and spicy. It’s the perfect topping for the salmon bowl.
This sushi bowl is perfect for lunches or weeknight dinner! You can make a keto sushi bowl by replacing the white rice for cauliflower rice.
How to make a Deconstructed Sushi Bowl
- Make the sushi rice: I always start by rinsing off my rinse. This helps the rice from getting gummy and clumping up. Next boil according to the package instructions. After rice is cooked spread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment and allow to cool. Use the reserved liquid from the carrots and drizzle it on top of the rice. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- Pickle carrots: In a medium bowl whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add in carrots and allow them to soak for 15 minutes (or while you are preparing the rest of the dish).
- Cook the salmon: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha and sesame oil. Set aside until you are ready to serve.
- Assembly: To assemble start by diving the rice between two bowls. Top with pickled carrots, sliced cucumbers, avocado and salmon. Drizzle with spicy mayo and a drizzle of eel sauce, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
