Cup of Yum
To Cook the Salmon:
- Lightly season salmon with salt, pepper, and sesame seeds (optional).
- Heat sauté pan over medium heat. When pan is hot, add 1-2 Tablespoons coconut oil to grease the pan. Place salmon in pan, skin side down.
- When salmon is cooked halfway through, flip so the skin side faces up. You will see a distinct line in the middle of the salmon when it's time - about 5-7 minutes.
- Cover pan, remove from heat, and allow salmon to steam in pan for 10 minutes (for medium doneness).
How to Make Wasabi Mayo
- Whisk together wasabi mayo ingredients in a small mixing bowl until well combined.
- Layer your salmon bowls with about 1/3 cup sushi rice, one salmon filet, a pinch of ginger, half an avocado, nori strips, cashews, and finish with a drizzle of wasabi mayo.
