Ingredients

• 180g (6.5oz) sushi rice
• 3 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp caster sugar
• 0.5 tsp fine salt
• 30ml (1fl oz) maple syrup
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tsp gluten-free tamari soy sauce
• 0.5 tsp garlic granules
• 1 tsp mirin
• 2 salmon fillets
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• 4 spring onions
• 150g (5oz) edamame beans
• Half a ripe avocado

Directions

1. Cook the Sushi Rice

• Cook the sushi rice according to the packet instructions. While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi rice seasoning.
• In a small dish, mix together the rice vinegar, caster sugar, and fine salt until dissolved.
• Once the rice is fully cooked, pour the vinegar mixture over the hot rice and gently stir to coat each grain.
• Toast the sesame seeds in a small pan over medium heat, then stir them through the rice for extra flavor and texture. Set the rice aside to cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Salmon and Teriyaki Marinade

• Remove the skin from the salmon fillets and chop the salmon into bite-sized chunks. Dice the spring onions.
• In a small dish, mix together the maple syrup, sesame oil, tamari soy sauce, garlic granules, and mirin to create the teriyaki marinade.

3. Assemble the Sushi Bowls

• Once the sushi rice has cooled to a warm temperature, divide it between two bowls, filling about two-thirds of each bowl with the rice mixture.
• In the remaining space, arrange the edamame beans and sliced avocado for a balanced and colorful base.

4. Cook the Teriyaki Salmon

• Heat the teriyaki marinade in a small frying pan over high heat until it bubbles, then reduce to a simmer and stir until the sauce thickens.
• Add the salmon chunks to the pan and increase the heat, stirring to ensure the salmon is evenly coated with the teriyaki glaze.
• Sprinkle the diced spring onions over the salmon and cook until the salmon is glazed and cooked through.

5. Serve the Sushi Bowls

• Divide the glazed salmon and spring onions between the two bowls, placing them on top of the sushi rice, edamame, and avocado.
• Serve with extra tamari soy sauce on the side if desired for an extra umami kick.
