Instructions
Rinse the rice in a bowl until the water runs clear to get the starch off of it.
Put the rice in the pot with 2 cups, plus a few tablespoons of water.
Bring to a boil uncovered. Then cover and reduce heat to lowest setting for 15 minutes.
Turn off and let sit for another 10 minutes. Let the rice completely cool off.
While the rice cools, cut salmon into ½ inch cubes.
Put the salmon into a mixing bowl, add the soy sauce, sesame seed oil, scallions, and salt.
Let the salmon rest with the seasonings at least 30-45 minutes.
Cut cucumber in half length-wise, then cut thin slices.
Cut the avocado in half and cut into slices.
After the salmon has rested and the rice has cooled it’s time to assemble.
In a bowl, add the rice, top with the salmon poke. Garnish with the cucumber and avocado slices, and some nori sheet slices.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
