Steps:
- Make the sushi rice: In a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the warm rice and fold with a spatula until the liquid is absorbed.
- Line an 8 x 5-inch container with plastic wrap, then add the sushi rice and press down in an even layer. Fold the plastic wrap over rice to cover, then freeze for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the yuzu ponzu salmon: In a medium bowl, whisk together the kewpie mayonnaise, yuzu kosho, yuzu extract, sesame oil, and soy sauce until combined.
- Add the salmon and scallions to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Mix until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Fry the sushi rice: Heat the avocado oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the sushi rice from the freezer and cut into 12 even rectangles. Discard any loose pieces of rice.
- Carefully add 3-4 of the rice rectangles at a time to the hot oil. If the oil splatters, cover the skillet with a lid until it subsides. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 3-4 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to drain and repeat with the remaining rice.
- Transfer the salmon mixture to a zip-top plastic bag and snip an ½-inch opening in one corner.
- Gently pipe the salmon on top of each piece of crispy rice. Sprinkle each piece with the toasted white and black sesame seeds and top with a slice of jalepeño, if using.
- Serve immediately with ponzu sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut a square of parchment about three times larger than salmon fillet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together yuzu juice, miso, soy sauce, and maple syrup.
- Lay parchment on a sheet pan. Arrange bok choy on right half of parchment, leaving a 2-inch border uncovered on all sides. Place salmon on top of bok choy, drizzle with yuzu mixture, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Take left side of parchment and fold it over salmon. Pleat edges together to form a parcel, sealing fish tightly in packet. Check to make sure there are no gaps along edges.
- Place in oven and bake 25 minutes. Salmon should be cooked through and just tender at center.
- Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes. Cut packet open, divide salmon and bok choy among plates, and drizzle with some cooking juices.
Tips for Making Yuzu-Glazed Salmon
- Choose the right salmon. For this recipe, it is best to use a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet. Avoid using farmed salmon, as it will not have the same flavor or texture.
- Make sure the salmon is cooked properly. The salmon should be cooked until it is just cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky. To check if the salmon is cooked, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is cooked.
- Use a good quality yuzu glaze. The yuzu glaze is what gives this dish its unique flavor. Be sure to use a glaze that is made with fresh yuzu juice. You can find yuzu glaze at most Asian grocery stores.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Yuzu-glazed salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. The glaze will start to thicken as it cools, so it is important to serve the salmon while it is still hot.
Conclusion
Yuzu-glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The yuzu glaze gives the salmon a unique and flavorful crust that is sure to impress your guests. If you are looking for a new way to cook salmon, I highly recommend trying this recipe.
