Ingredients:

180g (6.5oz) sushi rice
3 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar
0.5 tsp fine salt
30ml (1fl oz) maple syrup
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp gluten-free tamari soy sauce
0.5 tsp garlic granules

2 salmon fillets
2 tbsp sesame seeds
4 spring onions
150g (5oz) edamame beans
Half a ripe avocado

Preparing the Sushi Rice

Step 1: Rinse and Cook the Rice

The foundation of any great sushi bowl is perfectly cooked sushi rice. Start by thoroughly rinsing the 180g of sushi rice under cold running water. You’ll want to do this until the water runs clear. This step is crucial for removing excess starch, which prevents the rice from becoming gummy. Transfer the rinsed rice to a medium saucepan. Add 200ml of cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it steam, covered, for another 10 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this steaming period; patience here ensures fluffy, well-cooked rice.

Step 2: Season the Rice

While the rice is steaming, prepare the sushi vinegar. In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp of rice vinegar, 1 tsp of caster sugar, and 0.5 tsp of fine salt until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Once the rice has finished steaming, carefully transfer it to a wide, shallow bowl or a large non-metallic mixing bowl. This allows for faster cooling and easier mixing. Gently pour the seasoned vinegar mixture over the hot rice. Using a rice paddle or a wooden spoon, carefully fold and cut the vinegar into the rice. Avoid stirring vigorously, as this can break the rice grains. Continue gently folding until the vinegar is evenly distributed and the rice has a glossy sheen. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature, covering it with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out.

Making the Teriyaki Salmon

Step 3: Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze and Salmon

Now, let’s create that irresistible teriyaki flavor for our salmon. In a small bowl, combine the 30ml of maple syrup, 1 tsp of sesame oil, 2 tsp of gluten-free tamari soy sauce, 0.5 tsp of garlic granules,non-alcoholic alternativetsp of non-non-alcoholic mirinolicolic mirin. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined, forming your teriyaki glaze. Pat the 2 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a good sear and allows the glaze to adhere better. Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper if desired, although the tamari will provide a salty element.

Step 4: Cook the Salmon

Heat a tablespoon of oil (like vegetable or avocado oil, not listed but assumed for cooking) in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillets, skin-side down if they have skin, into the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the salmon fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Brush generously with about half of your prepared teriyaki glaze. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets and your desired level of doneness. Baste the salmon with the remaining glaze during this time to build up a beautiful, sticky coating. The salmon should be cooked through but still moist and flaky. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.

Assembling Your Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bowl

Step 5: Prepare the Toppings and Assemble

This is where your beautiful Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bowl (GF) comes to life. Start by toasting the 2 tbsp of sesame seeds. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Wash and thinly slice the 4 spring onions, using both the white and green parts. Peel and dice half a ripe avocado into bite-sized pieces. Prepare the 150g of edamame beans according to package directions; this usually involves a quick boil or microwave. Once your rice has cooled to room temperature and is ready, divide it among your serving bowls. Arrange the flaked teriyaki salmon on top of the rice. Artfully scatter the prepared edamame beans, diced avocado, and sliced spring onions over the salmon and rice. Finally, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the entire bowl for a delightful crunch and nutty flavor. You can add a drizzle of extra tamari or a touch of sriracha if you like a little heat.

Frequently Asked Questions about Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bowl (GF)

Can I make the teriyaki sauce from scratch?

Absolutely! While store-bought teriyaki sauce is convenient, making it from scratch allows you to control the sweetness and saltiness. A simple homemade teriyaki sauce typically involves soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), non-alcoholic mirin, non-alcoholic sake, and sugar, simmered until thickened. You can find many excellent recipes online that detail precise ratios.

What are some good gluten-free alternatives for the rice?

For a gluten-free sushi bowl, you can certainly use traditional sushi rice. However, if you’re looking for other gluten-free grains, quinoa is an excellent choice. Cauliflower rice is another popular and very healthy alternative that absorbs flavors beautifully. Brown rice also works well and adds extra fiber.
