# Ingredients:

→ Crispy Rice Components

01 - 2 tbsp chili crisp
02 - 2 tsp soy sauce
03 - 1 tbsp sesame oil
04 - 1½ tbsp crushed red pepper
05 - ¼ cup minced dried garlic
06 - ¼ cup minced dried onion
07 - 1 tbsp smoked paprika
08 - 2 cups jasmine rice, fully cooled after cooking (use any variety you like)
09 - ¾ cup olive oil
10 - ½ tsp chili powder
11 - ½ tsp sea salt

→ Salmon Base

12 - 8 ounces salmon
13 - ½ tsp ground black pepper
14 - ½ tsp sea salt
15 - ½ tsp garlic powder

→ Vegetable Mix

16 - 1 cup edamame (shelled)
17 - 2 avocados, diced
18 - 5 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced (or substitute 1 large English cucumber)
19 - 1 bunch green onions, sliced thin (yields about ¾ cup)

→ Smooth Dressing

20 - 3 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
21 - ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
22 - ½ tsp kosher salt
23 - ¼ cup olive oil
24 - 2 tbsp honey
25 - 1½ tsp ground ginger
26 - 3 tbsp rice vinegar

# Instructions:

01 - Turn on the oven and set it to 400°F. Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet so nothing sticks.
02 - Once your rice is cooked and cooled down completely, spread it on the parchment-lined baking tray. Toss it well with chili crisp, sesame oil, and soy sauce.
03 - Bake the rice in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Stir it halfway through cooking so it gets crispy all over.
04 - Sprinkle black pepper, salt, and garlic powder on the salmon. Put it on a baking sheet and bake for 13-14 minutes, or until cooked through. Shred it with a fork when it’s done.
05 - Slice cucumbers thin (a mandolin works great). Dice the avocados, prep the edamame, and cut up the green onions. Toss everything into one big bowl.
06 - Whisk or blend together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, olive oil, ginger, and salt until smooth and silky.
07 - Add the crispy rice and shredded salmon to the veggie bowl. Pour in the dressing and mix everything really well. Enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
02 - Chili crisp is available at stores like Trader Joe's, or you can make it yourself.
