Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat salmon dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear salmon skin-side up for 2 minutes without moving. Flip and sear another 90 seconds until opaque.

  4. Step 4

    Push salmon to the side. Crack eggs into the empty space and cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with salmon, an egg, pickled ginger, and a nori strip.

  6. Step 6

    Mix soy sauce and mirin in a small bowl. Drizzle over the bowls and serve immediately.
