Salmon Sushi Bowls
Description
The recipe features cooked and cooled sushi rice as the base topped with strips of toasted seaweed (nori), smoked salmon rolled into bites, crisp cucumber matchsticks, sliced avocado, and scallions. A wasabi mayonnaise made by whisking wasabi paste with mayonnaise and rice vinegar is drizzled over the bowl to add creamy heat and tang.
Each ingredient brings contrasting texture: tender salmon, creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber, and the slight chew of nori, all bound by the sticky rice. Black sesame seeds sprinkle on top for subtle nuttiness and visual appeal. Soy sauce on the side allows for added salty seasoning to taste.
The dish can be customized by adjusting the wasabi level or substituting sriracha if wasabi paste is unavailable. Using gluten-free soy sauce can make the bowls suitable for gluten-restricted diets. The assembly is simple with no raw fish preparation, making it approachable for home cooks.

Notes
- Any short-grain rice like arborio can replace sushi rice if unavailable.
