When you feel like sushi for dinner, try this sushi bowl instead. It’s easier than rolling your own sushi, and just as tasty.
What’s in this Salmon Sushi Bowl
This bowl has all the elements that you’d expect in sushi - and more!
- Salmon - We’re going to quickly marinate in miso, soy sauce and sesame oil, then pan fry our salmon. Use skin on fillets for more beautiful flavour.
- Avocado and cucumber - of course! The quintessential combination with salmon sushi.
- Pickled carrot and ginger - The pickle cuts through the richness of the salmon and avocado. We’ll make an easy pickle with rice vinegar, salt and sugar.
- Rice - Use microwave (instant) rice here to cut down on prep time.
- Seaweed sheets (nori) - These are often available in small packets of 5 g from your supermarket, in the snacks aisle. I like to snip these with scissors to make thin strips.
- Sauces - I make two simple sauces, one of soy sauce and sesame oil, and another with greek yoghurt, sriracha and lime juice.
- Sesame seeds - These give a little added crunch.
How to make our Sushi Bowl
To make your Sushi Bowl, all you need to do is:

Don’t top with seaweed (nori) until just before you are ready to serve, or it will become soft and limp.
