  1. Rice and Vegetables
    1. Rinse the Japanese short-grain rice in cold water 5 to 6 times until the water runs nearly clear, then drain. Combine with the water in a pot, soak 30 minutes, cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to the lowest heat and cook 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
    1 cup Japanese short-grain rice, 1.1 cup Water (for rice)
  2. 2. While the rice soaks, slice the cucumber into thin half-moons and cut the carrots into thin matchsticks. Slice the scallions thinly and set aside for garnish.
    1 piece Cucumber, 2 pieces Carrots, 2 pieces Scallions (garnish)
  3. Ginger-Soy Dressing
    3. Whisk the fresh ginger, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl until combined. Toss a spoonful of the dressing with the carrots and cucumber and let sit 5 minutes to lightly pickle.
    1 piece Cucumber, 2 pieces Carrots, 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, finely grated, 3 tbsp Soy sauce, 1 tbsp Mirin, 1 tbsp Rice vinegar, 1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
  4. Salmon and Assembly
    4. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt. Heat the neutral oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and place the salmon skin-side down. Cook 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crisp, flip, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more until just cooked through.
    2 pieces Salmon fillets, skin-on, 1 tbsp Neutral oil, 0.2 tsp Salt
  5. 5. Divide the rice between two bowls and top with the salmon, cucumber and carrots. Drizzle with the remaining ginger-soy dressing and garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately.
    1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds (garnish)
