Frequently Asked Questions FAQ’s

What type of salmon should I use? You can use whatever salmon you enjoy most. I like using Scottish or Atlantic salmon. They have a good amount of healthy fat which is very flavorful.

Can you eat salmon skin? Yes, absolutely! You can leave the skin on if you prefer. It is perfectly safe to eat.

Why do you pat the salmon dry with paper towel before seasoning it? Patting the salmon dry will promote a crispier outside. The less moisture on the surface of the salmon cubes will allow the salmon to get a nice sear. Ultimately yielding a crispier salmon bite.

Frequently Asked Questions Continued

Can you swap any ingredients in the spicy sauce? Yes, you can use liquid aminos instead of low sodium soy sauce, you can swap honey for maple syrup, and you can use a different hot sauce in place of the sriracha. Lastly, you can use kewpie mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise as well. Please keep in mind that any substitutions can change the sauce flavor. Adjust accordingly.

What is kewpie mayonnaise? Kewpie mayonnaise is a Japanese mayonnaise made from the yolks of the egg versus the entire egg. Resulting in a creamier, richer flavor.

Why do you use avocado oil? Avocado oil has a high smoke point making it great for sautéing. It also does not impart any flavor on the fish like olive oil can.

What can you add to the bowls? You can add avocado, English cucumber, carrots, radish, cilantro, jalapeno, lime wedges, green onions, furikake etc.. You can fully customize these bowls to fit your liking.

How to Make Spicy Salmon Roll Bowls

Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, low sodium soy sauce, and maple syrup. Whisk until well combined, no lumps. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Prepare the Rice and Bowl Ingredients

Cook the rice according to the package. Prep any vegetables, fruits or herbs you want to add to the bowls.

Mix the Spice Blend and Prepare the Salmon

Start by removing the pin bones from your salmon filet. You will feel the bones sticking out when you run your fingers over the meat of the fish. Simply us a pin bone remover or clean tweezers to remove them. Option to remove the skin. Simply lay the fish flat, skin side down. Run a sharp knife under the meat and as close to the skin as possible. This will separate the meat from the skin.

Place the salmon filet on a cutting board and cube it into bite-sized pieces. Pat the cubed salmon dry with paper towels. Absorbing the excess moisture will allow the fish to get crispy on the outside.

Season the cubes with blackening spice. Toss until they are well coated. Next, add avocado oil to a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned cubed salmon to the pan. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. Be sure to turn the cubes frequently so all sides of the salmon cook evenly.

Assemble the Spicy Salmon Roll Bowls

Divide the rice between two bowls. Next, add the spicy salmon bites along with your preferred toppings. Drizzle with spicy sauce and enjoy.
