How to Make Teriyaki Salmon Avocado Rice Stack

Here is exactly how we make the dish, step by step.

What you need: Oven, Baking Dish, Sheet Pan.

1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
2. Put the salmon fillet in a baking dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce over it and sprinkle with salt.
3. Bake the salmon for about 12 to 15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
4. While the salmon is baking, cook the rice according to the package instructions and set it aside.
5. After the salmon is done, let it cool for a bit, then flake it with a fork.
6. To build the rice stack, start with a scoop of rice at the bottom of a serving dish.
7. Add a layer of flaked salmon on top of the rice, then layer on the sliced avocado.
8. Keep stacking the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with avocado.
9. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top.
10. If you like, serve with seaweed sheets to wrap each bite.

That is the whole method. Nothing here needs special technique, just a little attention at the right moments.

Variations and Add Ins

Teriyaki salmon avocado rice stack takes changes well, so treat the recipe above as a starting point rather than a set of rules. These are the swaps we come back to most often.

• Use a different fish. Any firm white fish works, so buy whatever looks best that day.
• Add citrus. A squeeze of lemon or lime right at the end wakes everything up.
• Make it creamy. A splash of cream or a spoonful of cream cheese turns it into comfort food.
• Add herbs. Fresh dill, parsley or basil brighten the whole plate.
• Change the herbs. Fresh parsley, basil or dill at the end each send it somewhere slightly different for no extra effort.
• Make it a bigger meal. Serve it over rice or with warm bread and it stretches to feed another person or two.

Change one thing at a time rather than three. That way you find out what you actually like in the recipe instead of guessing at the end.

How to Store and Reheat Teriyaki Salmon Avocado Rice Stack

Seafood is best the day it is made, but leftovers keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently and briefly, since seafood turns firm quickly with too much heat.

If you are cooking ahead on purpose, prep the components and keep them separate until you are ready. It takes a few minutes off a busy evening and this one holds its texture far better that way.
