SUSHI SALAD
Steps:
- In saute pan over moderate heat, warm 1T canola oil. Add salmon, cook 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to bowl and shred into 1" pieces. Combine 1/2 cup canola oil with vinegar, sesame oil, salt and whisk. Stir together cooked rice, sesame seeds, soy sauce. Add greens, avocado, salmon. Drizzle with salad dressing and a squeeze of the orange and sprinkle with seaweed pieces.
Tips:
- For the best results, choose sushi-grade fish that is fresh and of high quality.
- If you are using frozen fish, thaw it completely before using. Do not use microwave to speed up the thawing process as it could compromise the quality of the fish.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove the starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- When cooking the rice, use a tight-fitting lid and do not stir the rice. This will help the rice to cook evenly.
- Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly before mixing it with the sushi vinegar. This will help the rice to absorb the vinegar more evenly.
- When assembling the sushi salad, use a variety of colors and textures. This will make the salad more visually appealing.
- Do not overmix the salad. This will prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Serve the sushi salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
