1 pound
thick-cut salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon
neutral oil, such as avocado or vegetable
Wasabi Dressing
½ cup
mayonnaise
1 tablespoon
wasabi paste
1 tablespoon
fresh lemon juice, (from 1 lemon)
For serving
4 cups
Coconut Rice
1 cup
cooked edamame
3
Persian cucumbers, sliced
1
avocado, sliced
Minced fresh cilantro
Sesame seeds, (optional)
Method
Make the salmon. In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. Add the salmon and toss until coated. Marinate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Once the oil is glistening, working in batches, add the salmon and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
Meanwhile, make the wasabi dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and lemon juice until smooth.
Divide the coconut rice among 4 bowls. Top with the salmon, edamame, cucumbers, and avocado. Drizzle with the wasabi dressing and sprinkle with the cilantro and sesame seeds, if desired, to serve.
