This is Seriously Next Level Bowl Food – And Who Doesn’t Love Bowl Food?

Crispy baked salmon pieces covered in spicy mayo & Furikake seasoning piled into rice bowls and then fixed up with ALL the toppings is probably my idea of a perfect meal. If you’re into Nourish bowls or Buddha bowls then I think you’ll be happy with this twist.

It’s spicy, it’s crispy, it’s absolutely flavor packed and it is seriously so easy to make. Perfect weeknight food that will make everyone happy.

A word on crispy salmon skin…

I was thinking of saying that crispy salmon skin is like healthy potato chips but I have a feeling the children will not fall for that one… But! It is really, really good. It’s the reason I start this salmon in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop and finish baking it in the oven. A quick flash in a hot pan crisps that skin up in no time and then it’s hands-off to finish. You can skip this step if you want to, but it’s very highly recommended. By me. And have I ever steered you wrong?

I don’t know about you, but I like my crispy salmon skin attached to my salmon, but a little Googling showed me that some people just eat straight up fried crispy salmon skin! On its own! For real. Read this.

Anything Special You Need to Know About these Spicy Furikake Salmon Bowl?

One final Spicy Furikake Salmon Bowl pro-tip:

I like this with sushi rice. It gives it a little extra zip and I really like the texture. You can use whatever rice you like though… jasmine, brown rice and even quinoa are all good.

I’ll get my own sushi rice up here one of these days, but for now, this is a good, basic, no-fail sushi rice recipe. (click here)
