Ingredients

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 2 cups mixed greens (spinach, kale, arugula) 1 avocado, sliced 4 oz salmon fillet 1 cup edamame, shelled 2 tablespoons sesame seeds 1 teaspoon wasabi paste (optional) Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in the rice vinegar for a mild sweetness and set aside. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. In a non stick pan, cook the salmon over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Set aside. Steam the mixed greens for 2 minutes or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Assemble your bowl by placing a bed of steamed greens at the bottom, followed by a scoop of seasoned sushi rice. Top with avocado slices, cooked salmon, and edamame. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a dollop of wasabi paste if desired.

Chef’s Insight

This dish represents a perfect balance of macronutrients - protein from salmon and edamame, healthy fats from avocado, and carbohydrates from sushi rice.
