FAQ
Is regular supermarket salmon safe to eat raw here?
No - only use salmon explicitly labeled "sashimi-grade" or "sushi-grade," which has been flash-frozen to eliminate parasites. Regular fresh salmon from the counter isn't treated this way and isn't safe to eat raw.
How spicy is this bowl, and can I tone it down?
The heat comes mainly from the fresh chili and raw garlic, both of which you fully control. Remove the chili seeds or use half a chili, and lightly pickle the garlic first if you prefer a milder bowl.
Can I prepare the components ahead of time?
The rice, vegetables, and dressing can all be prepared a few hours ahead and kept chilled separately. Slice the salmon just before serving so it stays fresh and doesn't dry out.
