A creamy, flavorful, and fast no-cook salmon avocado rice bowl perfect for busy days when you want something fresh, filling, and fuss-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice, chilled (about 375 grams)
  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • A small handful fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. If you don’t have leftover rice, cook 1 cup (190 grams) of dry jasmine or sushi rice according to package instructions. Spread the cooked rice on a plate or tray to cool quickly (about 20 minutes).
  2. In a mixing bowl, scoop out the ripe avocado flesh and mash gently with a fork until creamy with a few small chunks remaining.
  3. Stir in fresh lime juice, soy sauce (or tamari), and sesame oil into the mashed avocado. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the cooled rice to the bowl with the avocado mixture. Gently fold the rice into the creamy mash until evenly coated, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and fold them into the rice and avocado mixture, keeping the salmon pieces intact.
  6. Sprinkle sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped herbs over the bowl. Give a gentle final stir if desired.
  7. Serve immediately for best freshness and texture. If needed, cover and refrigerate briefly, bringing to room temperature before eating.

Notes

Use chilled, day-old rice to keep grains separate and prevent mushiness. Mash avocado gently to retain some texture. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for about 60 seconds for extra flavor. Eat the bowl fresh to avoid avocado browning and salmon texture changes. Adjust soy sauce carefully due to smoked salmon’s natural saltiness. Substitute rice with cauliflower rice for low-carb option. Protein swaps include cooked shrimp, canned tuna, or cooked chicken. Add sriracha or chili flakes for heat. Fresh lime juice helps prevent avocado browning.
