PREP (Get ahead Sunday)

  • cook rice / make cabbage pickle / marinate salmon / make miso dressing

MAKE

  • Make a quick cabbage pickle. Pop the sugar, salt and vinegar in a glass jar and shake. Put cabbage in a colander and pour boiling water over it. Add cabbage into the jar and set aside. 
  • Marinate the salmon and leave on the bench to bring to room temperature. 
  • Cook rice as per instructions. 
  • Combine all the ingredients for the miso dressing and set aside.
  • Prepare the endamame, cucumber, avocado and lettuce leaves.
  • Cook salmon. Preheat a pan on medium heat with a dash of olive oi for 2 minutes. Pop salmon into the pan and cook for 3 minutes. Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes. Set aside on a plate.
  • Arrange the rice, lettuce, cucumber, endamame, pickled cabbage (squeeze the liquid out before adding) and avocado in a bowl. Pop the salmon on top. 

SERVE

  • We love to serve this on a large platter with all the ingredients lined up and everyone gets to make their own. Fill up your bowl and drizzle with miso dressing, sriracha mayonnaise and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and nori.
