In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 1/4 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 15 to 17 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in the mirin.
Meanwhile, pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a large bowl.
*An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F for salmon.
Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Medium dice the cucumbers. Combine the sliced radishes and diced cucumbers in a bowl; add the sugar and soy glaze. Stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Halve and pit the avocado. Using a spoon, remove the avocado from the skin, then medium dice. Place in a bowl. Add the vinegar and as much of the togarashi as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper.
When cool enough to handle, carefully remove the skin from the cooked fish. Using two forks, flake the fish into large pieces. Add the ponzu sauce; stir to coat. Serve the cooked rice topped with the finished fish, seasoned avocado, marinated vegetables (including any liquid), and spicy mayo. Enjoy!
