Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 3 green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine with 1 ½ cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed.

- Prepare Vegetables: Slice cucumber into rounds and dice avocado. Chop green onions finely, reserving some green tops for garnish.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Assemble the Bowl: Fluff cooked rice and divide among bowls. Top with salmon, cucumber, avocado, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with green onion tops.
