Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions, about 15-20 minutes. Fold in rice wine vinegar and sea salt to enhance flavor.
  2. Remove the skin from the salmon and cut into bite-sized pieces. Coat each piece with cornstarch evenly.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger powder, and sesame seeds in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce over the cooked salmon and toss gently to coat. Cook for an additional minute until sauce thickens.
  6. Assemble the bowls with a layer of rice, topped with crispy salmon, avocado, cucumbers, carrots, and green onions.
  7. Finish with optional garnishes like spicy mayo and extra sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
