Method
Rinse the rice, cover with 150 ml water, season with salt, and cook for 18–20 minutes until tender. Let stand covered for 3 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Brush the salmon1 with oil and soy sauce, and place it in a baking dish.
Bake the salmon1 for 12–15 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Mix the Greek6 yogurt with the sriracha until smooth and spicy.
Slice the cucumber3 into half-moons, slice the avocado4, and chop the green6 onions.
Spoon the rice into a bowl as the base. Arrange the salmon1, cucumber3, avocado4, and kimchi5 in sections on top.
Add the sriracha sauce, and sprinkle with green6 onions and sesame seeds.
Tips
- Why it works
- Bake the salmon at 190 °C so the skin doesn't burn and the flesh stays juicy. At a lower temperature it turns dry.
- Substitutions
- Replace the sriracha with 10 g of chili flakes or 5 g of ground red pepper. You can use regular yogurt instead of Greek, but the sauce will be less thick.
- Common mistakes
- If the salmon is undercooked, it stays pink inside and flakes apart easily. Check with a fork: the flesh should separate without resistance.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes, covering the plate. Better not to store the avocado, as it will darken.
- Serve with
- Serve with iced tea or cornbread. Good for an evening when you want something spicy but filling.
