Ingredients

Dressing

¼ cup mayo
½ teaspoon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil regular sesame oil also works but has less flavor
1 teaspoon grated ginger
3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
2 cloves garlic - minced or pressed
1-2 tablespoons water to thin adjust to your dressing thickness preference

Crispy Rice

1 ½ cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted or regular sesame oil

Salad

3 pieces salmon I used three 6 oz pieces of wild caught salmon
~2 cups finely sliced cucumber I used 2 persian cucumbers, one regular sized cucumber would also yield this
~2 cups finely sliced carrots from 4-5 carrots from a bunch of carrots
½ cup finely chopped cilantro
~.4 oz crumbled seaweed I used 1 pack of sea snax
1 medium-large avocado - diced

optional toppings

sprinkle of sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Add all dressing ingredients to a bowl and whisk together until smooth.
Add rice to a sheet pan and toss with oil and soy sauce. Add salmon pieces to the same sheet pan. Brush each salmon filet with some of the dressing, you don't need to be exact here but I used maybe 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing.
Bake salmon for 8-9 minutes*, until cooked through. Continue to cook rice for 20-25 more minutes until crisp.
Remove skin from salmon and then use a fork to flake the salmon into small chunks.
Add all salad ingredients including salmon and cooked rice to a bowl and toss with dressing. Divide out and top with sesame seeds if using.

Nutritional information is for ¼ of the salad which is a regular sized bowl. It is a filling salad!
