Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Divide warm rice between two bowls and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high. Pat salmon dry and sear skin-side down until opaque, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Flip salmon, brush with soy sauce and mirin, then cook 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and flake gently.

  4. Step 4

    Lower heat to medium. Crack 2 eggs into the skillet and scramble gently, stirring for 2 minutes until just set but still creamy.

  5. Step 5

    Top each rice bowl with flaked salmon and scrambled eggs. Crack the remaining raw egg gently into the center of each bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped nori if desired; the warm rice will soften the raw egg slightly.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch non-stick skillet
  • two bowls
  • spatula or wooden spoon
  • fork or chopsticks for flaking
