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 salmon 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 salmon, skin side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil. 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.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Quarter lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Medium dice the cucumbers. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and soy glaze. Add the sliced peppers and diced cucumbers; 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 separate bowl. Add the furikake and vinegar; 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, remove the skin from the cooked salmon. Using two forks, flake the salmon into large pieces. Add the ponzu sauce; stir to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked rice topped with the finished salmon, seasoned avocado, marinated vegetables, and spicy mayo. Enjoy!
