Ingredients

Salmon Bowl Ingredients

  • ½ pound sushi-grade salmon
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp chives, finely chopped
  • Flaky salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Miso Soy Dressing

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp white miso
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp brown sugar

Accompaniment

  • ½ cup sushi rice, cooked according to package directions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Miso Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, white miso, lemon juice, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined to create a savory and tangy dressing.
  2. Slice the Salmon: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the sushi-grade salmon against the grain into very thin slices. Arrange the salmon slices attractively in a bowl, slightly overlapping each piece to create an appealing presentation.
  3. Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the thinly sliced cucumber and red onion over the salmon. Sprinkle the chives and sesame seeds on top for added freshness and crunch.
  4. Dress the Bowl: Drizzle the prepared miso dressing over the entire bowl. Season lightly with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
  5. Finish and Serve: Scatter the capers over the bowl for a briny pop, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. For a more filling meal, serve the salmon and toppings over the cooked sushi rice for a satisfying sushi bowl experience.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade salmon to ensure freshness and safety for raw consumption.
  • Adjust the amount of miso and soy sauce to taste depending on your preference for saltiness.
  • If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onions in cold water for 10 minutes before adding.
  • This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors.
  • Try substituting the salmon with other sashimi-grade fish like tuna or yellowtail for variation.
