Ingredients

Coconut Rice

2 cups long grain rice rinsed and drained
1 14-oz. can coconut milk
1 1/2 cups water
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt

Salmon & Bowl Assembly

4 salmon fillets
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 avocado diced
1 persian or Japanese cucumber diced
6 to 8 scallions thinly sliced
1/2-1 cup Miso BBQ sauce
furikake
toasted sesame seeds
dried seaweed cut into strips
1 cup edamame

Instructions

Coconut Rice

In a large pot over medium heat, combine rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and let simmer, covered, 18 to 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Serve topped with sesame seeds

Salmon & Bowl Assembly

Press salmon fillets between paper towels to dry surfaces thoroughly. Season on all sides with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add salmon fillets, skin side down. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, pressing gently on back of fillets to ensure good contact between the skin and the pan, until skin is rendered and crisp, about 6 minutes.
Flip salmon and cook on second side until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120°F or medium-rare or 130°F for medium, about 1 minute longer. Transfer salmon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Divide the coconut rice evenly between 4 bowls.
Top with diced avocado, cucumber, seaweed, edamame and scallions. Top each bowl with a salmon fillet and spoon sauce on top and evenly glaze each fillet.
Sprinkle with furikake and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately.
