Ingredients
Marinade
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup Ponzu
- 1 tablespoon Ponzu vinegar with citrus
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons basil, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons Thai basil, roughly chopped
Salmon Bowl
- ½ pound salmon, ¼-inch thick slices
- 1 cup short grain white rice
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 small avocado, pitted, peeled, and julienned
- 6 perilla leaves, sliced in halves
- ¼ of a medium sweet onion, fine julienned and soaked in cold water
- 2 egg yolks
Instructions
- In a bowl add the soy sauce, Ponzu, Ponzu vinegar with citrus, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, basil, and Thai basil. Stir to mix together. Then in resealable container large enough to hold all your salmon slices, evenly lay out your salmon in the container. Pour all the marinade onto the salmon and seal it with the lid. Place in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the rice. Rinse rice in a strainer moving rice around with your hand until the water runs clear. Place rice into a small pot with the water and cook according to package directions. When rice is done cooking transfer to a large bowl. Fluff rice around with rice paddle and drizzle in the seasoned rice vinegar. Mix and set aside covered.
- When your salmon is done marinating and you are ready to serve, evenly divide the rice into two serving bowls. Then place one slice of salmon on top of the rice, followed by a slice of avocado, and then one half of a perilla leaf. Continue the pattern to cover all around the rice counterclockwise. Repeat for the second bowl of rice too. Place some sliced onions in the center and add an egg yolk on top of the onions. Serve immediately and enjoy! If there is leftover marinade you can drizzle it on top for more flavor.
Notes:
· For sashimi style salmon make sure to choose the freshest option available to you. Wild caught salmon will be richer in vitamin D than farm raised.
