Ingredients

Scale

1 cup sushi rice
1 (6 oz) fresh salmon fillet
2 tbsp rice vinegar
3 tbsp avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
2 sliced green onions

Instructions

Rinse sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions or in a rice cooker until fluffy.
While the rice cooks, slice the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooked sushi rice and press down gently to form an even layer.
Fry the rice undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown on one side; flip carefully using a spatula.
Evenly distribute seasoned salmon pieces on top of the crispy rice layer. Drizzle with soy sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds over everything.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through but still tender. Top with sliced green onions before serving.
