Seared Honey and Soy Marinated Salmon with Avocado, Rice, Nori and Salmon Roe
Living in New York City I am blessed to have some amazing Japanese restaurants around. My family loves crunchy salmon teriyaki rolls so I wanted to come up with an entree that would blend all the ingredients that they love. The result is this deconstructed salmon roll. I call it deconstructed because the ingredients are not tightly rolled in the seaweed but are rather placed on top of each other. I highly recommend warming the avocado but is not mandatory. The warm rice, salmon and avocado work perfectly when combined with the cool salmon roe. The crispy panko adds the perfect crunch to the dish.
So I know this recipe is a little more advanced but I am confident that all my amazing cooking friends out there will be able to prepare it and I promise that it is worth it. I wrote the recipe out in the order in which you should prepare it to help you with timing. This meal should be ready in about an hour.
What should I serve the Honey-Soy Salmon with?
I like to serve the salmon with garlic-sesame broccoli on the side (recipe below). I am happy to answer any questions you have if you need advice. Let me know how it turns out. Share your pics on instagram tag @itsjennsview or #itsjennsview
