Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nMake eel sauce: Add mirin, soy sauce, and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and cool completely.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nMake sushi rice: Rinse rice a few times with cold water until water runs clear. Drain. If using a rice cooker, transfer rice to cooker and add slightly less water than the rice cooker indicates. If cooking on stove, transfer rice to a small saucepan and add 1 3\/4 c + 2 tbsp cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir once, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15-20 minutes, or until water is evaporated and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nWhile rice is resting, whisk salt, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir mixture into rice and replace cover on rice so it stays warm.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nWhisk brown sugar, miso, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic in a small bowl (you may need to warm it up a little to loosen the mixture). Set aside.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nHeat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in skillet. Cook until salmon is nicely browned, 3-5 minutes. Flip over, and cook an additional 3-5 minutes, or until salmon is nearly cooked through. Pour off additional fat from skillet (you may need to momentarily remove the fish from the skillet to do this), then reduce heat to low and add miso mixture. Cook about 1 minute, until glaze begins to thicken. Baste salmon continuously with glaze for 1-2 minutes, until salmon is coated evenly with the glaze.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nRemove salmon to a plate. Assemble bowls with rice, salmon, and desired toppings. Don\u2019t skip the squeeze of fresh lime! Top with eel sauce and enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
If I were to pick a favorite food, I would definitely choose sushi. Kinda funny, because as kids, we lived in Japan, and I was terrified of sushi back then. I would order \u201ckappamaki\u201d (plain cucumber roll) every time we got it and would never …<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,25],"tags":[22,23,21,19,20],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":177,"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8\/revisions\/177"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/simmerandslice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
