Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 1 lb Salmon Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Enhances overall flavor depth of the dish.
For Cooking
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Ideal for cooking the salmon; avocado oil works as an excellent substitute.
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil Essential for that nutty aroma; don’t skip this for authenticity.
For the Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Fish Sauce Imparts salty umami flavors; use soy sauce for a vegetarian version.
  • 2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar Balances the flavors with acidity; apple cider vinegar can work as a substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce Key seasoning; low-sodium can help cut down the salt if desired.
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger Imparts a nice spice and freshness; ground ginger can be used in a pinch.
  • 1 Lime Zested and juiced; lemon juice makes a great alternative.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced; garlic powder is a convenient alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Salmon and Rice Bowl
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of miso paste, 1 tablespoon each of Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and sesame oil, along with 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce. Add in the grated zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger, and 4 minced garlic cloves. Stir well until blended, setting aside half for later use.
  2. Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes and place them in a shallow dish. Pour half of the prepared marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. While the salmon is marinating, prepare fluffy steamed rice according to package instructions. Use jasmine or basmati rice for the best results.
  4. After the rice is finished, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, carefully add the marinated salmon cubes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until crispy.
  5. To assemble your bowl, place a generous scoop of fluffy rice in each bowl. Top with crispy salmon cubes and drizzle with remaining marinade. Garnish with sesame seeds, avocado, spring onion, and steamed broccoli.
