Instructions

Prepare Base: If using leftover rice and salmon, place them in a microwave-safe bowl and add ice cubes to keep everything cold and moist. Cover with parchment paper or microwave-safe lid.
Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes until warm. If using freshly cooked rice and salmon, skip this step.
Remove Ice & Season: Take out any remaining ice cubes. Add tsuyu (or soy sauce), then drizzle with Kewpie mayonnaise and sriracha. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sriracha to taste for your preferred spice and creaminess.
Mash & Mix: Use a fork to gently mash and combine the ingredients evenly, creating a flavorful mixture.
Garnish & Serve: Top the mixture with sliced avocado and finely sliced green onions. Serve with nori on the side or sprinkled on top for added flavor.

Notes

This recipe is inspired by Emily Mariko’s popular leftover salmon bowl.
Adjust the amount of sriracha and mayonnaise for your desired spice level and creaminess.
If preferred, you can add other toppings like cucumber or sesame seeds for extra flavor.
Make sure to use sushi-grade or properly stored cooked salmon for safety and best flavor.
