    Why This Recipe Works

    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.

    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.

    Recipe Notes

    • 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.
