For the Toppings

1 cup Cucumbers Adds crunch; substitute with bell peppers or shredded carrots for variety.

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment to streamline your cooking process.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then brush a mixture of soy sauce and chili garlic sauce over the fillets.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a touch of oil. Sear the salmon skin-side up for about 2–4 minutes.
Flip the salmon and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10–14 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
Mix mayonnaise with additional chili garlic sauce to prepare the spicy mayo.
Assemble the bowl with sushi rice, baked salmon, avocado slices, and cucumbers. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with furikake.
Serve with additional soy sauce or wasabi as desired.
