    From the Test Kitchen

    In this dish, flaky fish fillets get bold flavor and a hint of crunchy texture from a coating of togarashi, plus a hint of bright citrus thanks to the ponzu sauce we’re mixing with mayo to drizzle atop the fish and vegetables.

    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Medium dice the cucumbers. Peel the radish; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumbers and sliced radish. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and ponzu sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    2 Cook & finish the rice

    In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Stir to combine. Heat to boiling  on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 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. Cover to keep warm.

    Marinate the vegetables

    Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil until the sugar has dissolved. Add to the bowl of prepared cucumbers and radish; season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and all but a pinch of the togarashi. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned salmon, skin side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Turn off the heat. Serve the finished rice topped with the cooked salmon, marinated vegetables (including any liquid), and ponzu mayo. Garnish with the remaining togarashi. Enjoy!
