Easy Spicy Salmon Sushi Bowls are a quick, flavorful take on classic sushi, featuring spicy salmon, seasoned rice, crisp vegetables, and creamy sauce — all deconstructed in a vibrant, customizable bowl.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh salmon fillet (sushi-grade if using raw, or cooked and flaked)
  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice or short grain rice
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced or julienned
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Nori or seaweed strips, for garnish
  • For the spicy sauce:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha (to taste)
  • 1 tsp lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once done, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy sauce. Add lime juice for extra tang, if desired.
  3. If using cooked salmon: Bake, sear, or air fry until fully cooked, then flake into bite-sized pieces. If using raw sushi-grade salmon: Dice into cubes and optionally toss with a bit of spicy sauce.
  4. Prepare vegetables: dice cucumber, shred carrot, cube avocado, and slice green onions.
  5. Assemble each bowl with a scoop of sushi rice, then top with salmon, vegetables, and avocado.
  6. Drizzle with spicy mayo and garnish with sesame seeds and seaweed strips. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use canned salmon for a budget-friendly alternative — mix with spicy mayo before serving.
  • Customize with toppings like pickled ginger, crispy onions, or tobiko for extra flavor.
  • Store ingredients separately for meal prep and assemble fresh for best texture.
  • Add edamame or radish for extra crunch and variety.
