01 - 2 cups day-old jasmine rice (substitute any rice you like)
02 - 2 teaspoons soy sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
04 - 2 tablespoons chili crisp
05 - ¼ cup chopped dried onion
06 - ¼ cup chopped dried garlic
07 - 1 tablespoon smoky paprika
08 - ½ teaspoon sea salt

12 - 8 ounces salmon
13 - ½ teaspoon sea salt
14 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
15 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder

→ For the Salad

16 - 5 small Persian cucumbers, cut paper-thin (or try 1 big English cucumber)
17 - 1 cup peeled edamame
18 - 1 bunch green onions, cut into thin rings (roughly ¾ cup)
19 - 2 avocados, diced

→ For the Creamy Asian Dressing

20 - ¼ cup olive oil
21 - ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
22 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
23 - 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
24 - 2 tablespoons honey
25 - 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
26 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven hot at 400°F and put parchment on a baking tray.
02 - Follow rice package directions then let it cool all the way. After cooling, put it on your lined tray and mix in the soy sauce, chili crisp, and sesame oil.
03 - Pop the rice in the oven for 30-40 minutes and flip it halfway so it gets crunchy all over.
04 - Rub your salmon with sea salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Put it on a tray and cook it with the rice for about 13-14 minutes until it's how you want it. Then break it up with a fork.
05 - Slice cucumbers super thin (a mandolin works best), get your edamame ready, chop up the green onions, and cut the avocados into chunks. Throw everything in a big bowl.
06 - Mix olive oil, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ground ginger, and sea salt until it's all smooth.
07 - Toss the flaked salmon and crunchy rice into your salad bowl. Pour dressing over everything and mix it up good.

# Notes:
