If you’re alive and on TikTok, you probably have seen Emily Mariko’s viral video for her leftover salmon rice bowl. We are totally here for it (c’mon, it’s basically a deconstructed salmon roll!). But in true Gelson’s fashion, we also put our own little spins on it.

First, we like our salmon super crispy, so we reheat it in the oven instead of the microwave — and boy, does the oven make that flaky fish satisfyingly crispy. Second, we’re pretty lazy, so rather than fussing with the ice cubes, we simply reheat the rice on the stove top with a couple tablespoons of water. (Bonus: it makes the leftover rice really chewy and tender.) And third, we can’t ever get enough condiment action, so we use an admittedly hedonic amount of Kewpie mayo and sriracha on top. Bring on the creamy heat!

Beyond that, we pretty much stick to Emily’s script, adding slices of creamy avocado, sheets of toasty nori, and a few spoonfuls of funky kimchi to the production. Is it just about the best WFH lunch ever? Why yes, yes it is. But this salmon rice bowl is also an awesome dish for Friday night dinner with friends — it’s practically begging to be served with a fun cocktail (like, ahem, our Daybreak Cocktail).
