Rice Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). On a large sheet pan, combine your cooked rice with melted salted butter, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, tamari, and a pinch of pepper. Spread the mixture evenly on the pan and bake for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the rice turns golden and crispy.
Cooking Salmon
- While the rice is baking, place the salmon filets on a separate sheet pan. In a small bowl, whisk together chipotle in adobo, honey, tamari, and a sprinkle of pepper. Brush this spicy mixture generously over the salmon. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for that extra crispy finish.
Assembling Salad
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, diced avocados, sliced Persian cucumbers, minced jalapeño, chopped fresh cilantro, and roasted peanuts. Gently toss the ingredients together until evenly mixed.
Making Dressing
- In a blender, combine tahini, freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, tamari, minced garlic, and a splash of water. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Combining and Serving
- Spoon hot crispy rice over the salad mixture, then top it with the salmon filets. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and serve immediately.
