Instructions
- Prepare the salmon by combining teriyaki sauce, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar in a bowl. In another bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then add it to the sauce mixture. Cook over medium heat until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Marinate salmon fillets in the prepared teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes, refrigerated.
- Prepare mochi waffles by whisking together mochiko, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, sugar, salt, and eggs until smooth. Pour batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
- In a separate bowl, mix mashed avocado, sour cream, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the creamy avocado spread.
- Cook salmon teriyaki by heating olive oil in a non stick skillet over medium high heat, then searing the fillets skin side down for 3 minutes before flipping and cooking an additional 2 3 minutes or until desired doneness.
- To assemble, place a mochi waffle on each plate, top with a generous portion of salmon teriyaki, and drizzle with creamy avocado spread. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
