Step 1
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Sear salmon skin-side down 4 minutes without moving. Skin should be golden and crisp.
Step 4
Flip salmon and sear 2 minutes more until the flesh is opaque at the edges.
Step 5
Remove salmon to a plate. Stir soy sauce and mirin together in the same skillet.
Step 6
Crack eggs into the glaze and cover. Cook 3 minutes until whites set but yolks jiggle.
Step 7
Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet and a cooked egg.
Step 8
Spoon pan sauce over rice. Add pickled vegetables and torn nori. Serve immediately.
