02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
04 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
→ Rice
05 - 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice, cooled
→ Spicy Mayo
06 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
07 - 1 tablespoon Sriracha or hot sauce
08 - 1 teaspoon lime juice

→ Toppings & Additions
10 - 1/2 cup kimchi, roughly chopped
11 - 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
12 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
13 - 1 avocado, sliced
14 - 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
15 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
16 - 1 sheet nori, cut into strips (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Pat salmon fillets dry and season evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the salmon is just opaque and cooked through. Transfer to a plate to rest.
03 - In the same skillet, add the garlic slices and sauté for about 1 minute, until golden and crispy. Remove garlic promptly and drain on a paper towel.
04 - Wipe the skillet clean and add a little additional oil if needed. Spread the cold rice into an even layer and press down gently. Cook undisturbed over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom is golden and crisp.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, and toasted sesame oil until smooth.
06 - Divide crispy rice between two serving bowls. Top with chunks of salmon, chopped kimchi, sliced cucumber, avocado slices, and chopped scallions. Drizzle generously with spicy mayo.
07 - Finish each bowl with crispy garlic, toasted sesame seeds, and nori strips if using. Serve immediately for best texture.
