Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. 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.

  2. Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Brush the salmon1 with oil and soy sauce, and place it in a baking dish.

  3. Bake the salmon1 for 12–15 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. Mix the Greek6 yogurt with the sriracha until smooth and spicy.

  5. Slice the cucumber3 into half-moons, slice the avocado4, and chop the green6 onions.

  6. Spoon the rice into a bowl as the base. Arrange the salmon1, cucumber3, avocado4, and kimchi5 in sections on top.

  7. 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.
