Method

  1. Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear. Drain and put in a large pan with 400ml water. Bring to the boil, turn the heat to low, cover, then cook for 10-12 mins until the rice is almost cooked. Remove from the heat, then leave, covered, for another 10 mins.
  2. Thinly slice the salmon and arrange on a platter with the sliced avocado. Drizzle over the lemon juice and soy, making sure everything is evenly covered. Leave in the fridge to marinate for 10 mins.
  3. Carefully tip the juices from the salmon platter into the rice, then stir in with a little salt. Divide the rice between 4 bowls. Scatter the sesame seeds, spring onions, chilli and coriander over the salmon and avocado, then serve with the rice.

Rice

Sushi rice is available in most supermarkets, but if you can't find it, simply use basmati.

    This really is delicious - especially for anyone who is a sushi fan. I tend to use lime juice instead of lemon and add a bit of sugar and rice vinegar to the rice for a more sushi-type taste.

    A brilliant starter for the summer. Be careful though not to marinate the salmon longer than 10 mins

    Love it, I added crumpled up seaweed to it, thoroughly recommend doing the same. The rice was a bit plain so I added a LOT more soy sauce, rice vinegar would also have worked. Need to make this again :)

    We make this at least once a week. I'm surprised not many people rated this recipe. So healthy, delicious and better than a bowl of chirashi you get at restaurant. It's feel-good food!

    I really love this recipe, so healthy but really yummy at the same time! I am trying it with jasmine rice today as i have no sushi rice left, i think this will really compliment the flavours and make the rice a little more interesting. Once you have added your rice vinegar, sugar and soy etc, I find molding the rice into small balls and putting them into the bowls with a little extra sauce poured over the top is really lovely.

    As suggested I added rice vinegar, sugar and lime instead of lemon. I also added wasabi paste to give it a bit of a kick.

    do you to need to use sashimi grade salmon for this? doesn't normal raw salmon have all kinds of nasties in it?
