YUZU PONZU SALMON WITH CRISPY RICE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the sushi rice: In a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the warm rice and fold with a spatula until the liquid is absorbed.
• Line an 8 x 5-inch container with plastic wrap, then add the sushi rice and press down in an even layer. Fold the plastic wrap over rice to cover, then freeze for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the yuzu ponzu salmon: In a medium bowl, whisk together the kewpie mayonnaise, yuzu kosho, yuzu extract, sesame oil, and soy sauce until combined.
• Add the salmon and scallions to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Mix until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Fry the sushi rice: Heat the avocado oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
• Remove the sushi rice from the freezer and cut into 12 even rectangles. Discard any loose pieces of rice.
• Carefully add 3-4 of the rice rectangles at a time to the hot oil. If the oil splatters, cover the skillet with a lid until it subsides. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 3-4 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to drain and repeat with the remaining rice.
• Transfer the salmon mixture to a zip-top plastic bag and snip an ½-inch opening in one corner.
• Gently pipe the salmon on top of each piece of crispy rice. Sprinkle each piece with the toasted white and black sesame seeds and top with a slice of jalepeño, if using.
• Serve immediately with ponzu sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!
