Spicy Salmon Maki Bowl

Step 1

In a bowl, combine Japanese mayo with sriracha. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to use.

Step 2

Prepare the marinade by combining; coconut aminos, rice vinegar, oil, sriracha and the light/white parts of the green onions. Place salmon in a bowl or resealable bag and pour marinade over top. Squeeze out as much air as possible and refrigerate for 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 3

While the salmon is marinating I prepare the rice (following the package directions, or like me, use a rice cooker), the slaw and crunchy topping.

Step 4

Once marinated (and the rest of the prep is done for the rice, slaw and crunchy topping) remove the salmon and preheat your oven to 400°. Line a rimmed sheet pan with foil, spray with olive oil and remove and arrange the salmon pieces. Discard the marinade.

Step 5

Once the oven is preheated, slip the salmon into the oven and cook for 6 to 8 minutes. Then (using oven mitts) remove and move the oven rack to the highest position. Turn on the broiler and broil until crispy, about 1 minute or so.

Step 6

Make the dressing by combining the tamari, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, ginger and garlic. In a large bowl add the cabbage and green onion. Pour in the dressing and toss well to combine.

Step 7

Add toasted sesame oil, panko, garlic and onion powder to a small non-stick skillet. Heat over medium-low toasting the panko until golden. Remove off of the heat and set aside.

Step 8

Divide rice among bowls (about 1/2 cup each) and top with cabbage slaw, salmon, avocado and cucumbers. Sprinkle with crush nori, toasted sesame seeds and the crunchy panko topping. Lastly drizzle with the spicy mayo.
