STEP BY STEP

Make it

  1. Flake

    Break salmon into small pieces in a microwave-safe bowl.

  2. Layer

    Add cooked rice and nestle the ice cube into it. Cover with a vented microwave-safe cover.

  3. Reheat

    Microwave about 2–3 minutes, then stir and check for 165°F throughout; continue as needed. Remove any remaining ice.

  4. Finish

    Mix in soy sauce, mayonnaise and optional sriracha. Divide into bowls, add avocado and optional seaweed.

Good to know

  • Use properly chilled leftovers; reheating does not rescue rice left out too long.
  • Total time assumes rice and salmon are already cooked.
