Spicy Salmon and Avocado Tower Recipe

Serving Suggestions for Elevated Dining

If you don’t have a ring mold, you can assemble these elegant rice towers using a ramekin or even a small coffee mug. Consider garnishing this sushi-inspired appetizer with additional cilantro, microgreens, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. For an extra kick of flavor, serve with a side of pickled ginger or wasabi. Alternatively, you can pair with a light and refreshing salad.

Vegetarian Variations

You can also opt for a plant-based protein to enjoy this recipe as a vegetarian. Marinated tofu or hearts of palm would complement the flavors and textures of the dish while offering a satisfying alternative to seafood.

• Marinated Tofu: Extra-firm tofu can be marinated in a blend of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to infuse it with savory flavors. Pan-sear or bake the tofu until golden brown and then dice it finely to layer in the rice tower. Its texture can mimic the flakiness of salmon or the chunkiness of crab.

• Hearts of Palm: These tender vegetables have a mild, slightly briny taste and a texture reminiscent of crab. You can chop or shred hearts of palm to layer in the tower. Marinating them in a blend of seaweed flakes, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and a touch of mayo or vegan mayo can enhance their seafood-like flavor.
