Ingredients

Rice:

2 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 tablespoon chili crisp
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Salmon:

1 lb salmon fillet, skin on or off
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Salad:

2 Persian cucumbers, diced
1 handful cilantro, chopped
1 ripe avocado, diced
2 green onions, diced
1 small bunch kale, stems removed and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Dressing:

3 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place the rice, chili crisp, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a large bowl and stir to coat.
Spread the rice in an even layer on a parchment lined sheet pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until lightly golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
Preheat the broiler.
Place the salmon flesh side up on a sheet pan, season with salt, and broil for 10 minutes for medium or until cooked through. Allow to cool and flake into bite size pieces with a fork.
Place all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously to combine.
Add the cucumbers, cilantro, avocado, green onions, kale, and sesame seeds to a large bowl. Add the crispy rice and flaked salmon.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Notes

Rice: Day-old refrigerated rice crisps up better than freshly cooked. If making fresh, spread on a sheet pan and cool completely before baking.
Make ahead: Store the crispy rice, salmon, vegetables, and dressing separately for up to 3 days. Assemble just before serving.
Crispy rice storage: Keeps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Salmon: Skin on or off both work. If skin on, it will peel away easily once broiled and cooled.
