Step 1
Divide warm rice between two bowls and set aside.
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.
Step 3
Flip salmon, brush with soy sauce and mirin, then cook 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and flake gently.
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.
Step 5
Top each rice bowl with flaked salmon and scrambled eggs. Crack the remaining raw egg gently into the center of each bowl.
Step 6
Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped nori if desired; the warm rice will soften the raw egg slightly.
Tools you’ll need
