Sushi rolls are so diverse, each one offering taste buds a unique flavor experience. This was my first attempt at turning a sushi roll into a “bowl” (aka, delicious salad) and I had such a hard time deciding what the inaugural Sushi Roll Bowl should be.

I had salmon in the fridge and avocados on my counter, so that helped to shape my decision. Turns out, the salmon sushi bowl was a good decision! This bowl or salad or lunch bowl or whatever you want to call it is sooo yummy.

VIDEO TUTORIAL: SALMON SUSHI BOWL

HOW TO MAKE SALMON SUSHI BOWL

STEP 1

Shred cooked salmon with a fork.

Squeeze the lime juice into the cooked rice and fluff with a fork.

Add to a large bowl and add the cooked salmon pieces, avocado and cucumber. Stir until combined.

STEP 2

Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the cream cheese, lemon juice and olive oil. Beat on medium speed until creamy.

USES FOR COOKED RICE

  • Sprinkle in chopped fresh cilantro and mix with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and juice from 1 lime. No need for Chipotle!
  • Serve underneath a heaping scoop of Hoisin Chicken Rice Bowls, Orange Chicken or Mongolian Beef. DELISH!
  • Serve alongside Instant Pot Chicken for the perfect complete meal.
  • Add it to a skillet or wok, along with eggs, peas, carrots and soy sauce to create a delicious fried rice.
  • Go simple and sere with a few pats of butter or olive oil. Stir until melted.
  • Mix together with salsa, black beans, lime juice and chopped avocado. Add shredded chicken for a meaty dish!

RECIPE NOTES: SALMON SUSHI BOWL

  • Prepare this just before serving so the salmon stays fresh, the rice doesn’t get sticky and the avocados don’t turn brown.
  • Soy sauce has a strong flavor, so serve it on the side and let people add it themselves.
  • Soften the cream cheese in the microwave before mixing.
  • If the cream cheese mixture contains lumps, do not fret! Whisk the dressing vigorously and microwave in 15-second intervals, if needed.
  • Consider replacing the lime juice with lemon juice for a different flavor!
  • Use any variety of rice desired. Brown, rice or a flavored and packaged variety all taste great.

FAQ FOR SUSHI BOWLS

HOW TO STORE SUSHI BOWLS

Sushi bowls are perfect for meal prepping! Store fully prepared individual servings in airtight containers (minus avocado) and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

WHAT DO YOU CALL A SUSHI BOWL

Sushi bowls, aka Poke bowls, are deconstructed sushi rolls containing all or most of the ingredients involved inside the roll.
