I’m thrilled that so many of you made these delicious rice bowls. It also proves that you’re all great and intuitive cooks, because I had a key measurement WRONG in the original email. SUSHI RICE is a 1:1 ratio of rice to water. If you’re using JASMINE or other long grain rice it’s a 1:1.5 rice to water ratio. I’m so sorry if this mistake of mine messed up your dinner or made you question yourself as a cook. I wish I had a team of editors over here but it’s just me: brain dead but well intentioned mama. Thanks for all the continued support :)
Here is the corrected recipe:
Roasted Salmon & Coconut Rice
serves 4
1 1/2 pounds salmon, skin removed (could be less if you’re feeding little mouths)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 cups sushi rice
1 (5.4 ounce) can coconut cream
Optional additions:
Chopped cucumber, for serving
Chopped avocado, for serving
Chopped scallions, for serving
Spicy mayo, for serving
Soy sauce, for serving
Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon on the baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon kosher salt, brown sugar, garlic powder and onion powder evenly over the salmon.
Place the rice in a sieve or colander and place that in the pot you plan to use or a bowl. Rinse with water until the water runs clear, about 1 minute. Drain the rice, pour the water out of the pot and place the rice in the pot. This pot needs to have a well fitting lid. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
Place the coconut cream in a liquid measuring cup. Add enough hot (I poured from my electric kettle) water over so it reads 1 1/2 cups. Pour over the rice. Bring the rice to a boil, cover and reduce to the lowest simmer setting. Cook for 17 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the salmon in the oven and roast for 15-17 minutes until cooked through.
Place some rice in a bowl, top with salmon, and any toppings you plan to use.
