Deconstructed Salmon Sushi Bowls:

It has been super hot here in Southern California, and I’ve been in the mood for sushi. And I thought, why not make a deconstructed Salmon sushi bowl at home? Hands down the best decision I could have made. Because it was super easy to put together and satisfied me 100%.

What you will need:

1. Wild caught salmon filet
2. Teriyaki sauce of your liking
3. Sesame oil
4. Grated ginger
5. Minced garlic
6. Salt and pepper
7. Cooked white rice
8. Shredded carrots
9. Cucumbers
10. Roasted seaweed
11. Avocado
12. Everything but the bagel sesame seasoning or sesame seeds

How to prepare the Instant pot white rice:

I started with preparing my Instant pot white rice, since this takes the longest to prep. First, add rinsed white rice to Instant pot along with chicken bone broth, ghee, and salt. And set the Instant pot to sauté function to melt the ghee. Once melted mix it all up, turn off the sauté function, close the Instant pot, and set to rice function. And cook for 12 minutes and once done let pressure release naturally (about 10-12 minutes). Open the Instant pot and fluff the rice with a fork.

Prepping the salmon in oven:

And while the rice is cooking prep the salmon by adding all the ingredients to the salmon filet. I let my salmon sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to let marinate. And then baked 400°F for 15 minutes. But if you like your salmon medium rare I would suggest cooking less time.

Prepping the salmon in air fryer:

If you have not tried air frying salmon yet, I highly suggest! It is the only way I like making my salmon because you get a nice crisp on outside and juicy tender in the inside. And I cook mine 390°F for 12 minutes in the air fryer.

Putting the sushi bowls together:

And now for the fun part, putting the deconstructed sushi bowls together. First, add cooked rice to the base of the bowl. And add cooked salmon, shredded carrots, chopped cucumbers, avocado, chopped roasted seaweed, and everything but the bagel sesame seasoning on top.
