Once done, divide the rice into two large bowls and set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the marinated salmon cubes into the non-stick pan and cook 3 minutes each side. If you like your salmon to be tender, I suggest not cooking it for more than 6 minutes. But if you want your salmon to be more well done, you can cook it up to 10 minutes. Once done, turn off the stove.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assemble the bowls by placing the toppings (cucumber, carrot, cabbage and avocado) into the bowls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the salmon and top it with the kewpie and sriracha.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garnish with more green onions (optional).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ready to serve!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been getting the not-so-subtle hint from NYT Cooking and other publications that a mediterranean diet seems to be the way to go if you want a healthy long life.
