Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tsp neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)

For the pickles

½ cup thinly sliced cucumber
¼ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp rice vinegar
½ tsp sesame oil

For serving

1 sheet nori, cut into strips (optional)
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the rice in a medium saucepan under cold water, swirling and draining 3–4 times until the water runs mostly clear. Add 1 1/4 cups fresh water, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and cook, covered, for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, still covered, for 10 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, pat the salmon fillets dry and sprinkle both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt. Let rest at room temperature for 5 minutes.
