Instructions

Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon in a shallow bowl and remove the skin. Use a fork to flake the fish into smaller pieces, then evenly spread out the flaked salmon throughout the bowl.
Add the rice: Scoop the cooked short-grain rice onto the flaked salmon. Use the fork to evenly spread the rice throughout the bowl to ensure even heating.
Add moisture for steaming: Place one or two ice cubes on top of the rice. Alternatively, sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of water around the rice for even hydration during cooking.
Create a steaming cover: Cover the bowl with parchment paper or a hand towel, molding it over the rice and salmon to create a steaming effect in the microwave that evenly heats and hydrates the ingredients.
Heat the bowl: Cook in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes in one-minute intervals, checking after each to ensure it’s thoroughly heated. Once hot, remove the parchment paper or towel and discard any remaining ice cubes.
Add sauces: Sprinkle soy sauce, Kewpie mayonnaise, and sriracha over the rice to taste.
Mix thoroughly: Thoroughly mix all the ingredients with the fork until well combined. Adjust seasoning by adding more soy sauce, mayo, or sriracha according to your taste preference.
Add toppings: For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle furikake and/or fried garlic over the rice.
Serve: Take one roasted seaweed sheet, add a generous scoop of the salmon rice mixture on top along with sliced avocado, and enjoy. Serve with kimchi on the side if desired.

Notes

Using ice cubes or water during microwaving helps keep the rice moist and evenly heated.
Kewpie mayonnaise adds a uniquely creamy and slightly sweet flavor; adjust quantity to your taste.
Furikake and fried garlic add nice texture and savory flavor but are optional.
Serving the salmon rice mixture in seaweed sheets creates a delightful sushi-like experience without rolling.
Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance’s power; adjust accordingly.
Kimchi on the side adds a spicy, tangy contrast, but you can omit if preferred.
