Ingredients

4 ounces salmon, preferably wild
1 teaspoon avocado oil
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup instant brown rice
1 cup water
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 ½ teaspoons sriracha
1 ½ teaspoons 50%-less-sodium tamari
1 teaspoon mirin
½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
½ ripe avocado, chopped
½ cup chopped cucumber
¼ cup spicy kimchi
12 (4 inch) sheets nori (roasted seaweed)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place salmon on the prepared pan. Drizzle with oil; season with salt. Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine rice and water in a small saucepan; cook according to package directions. Mix mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl; set aside. Whisk tamari, mirin, ginger, crushed red pepper and salt in another small bowl; set aside.
Divide the rice between 2 bowls. Top with salmon, avocado, cucumber and kimchi. Drizzle with the tamari mixture and the mayonnaise mixture. Mix the bowls, if desired, and serve with nori.
