- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions chopped
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper

Instructions
Crispy Rice
- Rinse Arborio rice until the water runs clear, then soak it in cold water for 30 minutes to reduce starch and promote crispiness.
- Cook the rinsed and soaked rice with vegetable broth in a rice cooker or pot, using a 1:2 rice-to-broth ratio, until the broth is absorbed and rice is tender.
- Spread the cooked rice thinly on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the rice is crispy, gently break it into small, irregular tips—avoid uniform shapes for better texture.
- Season the crispy rice tips with a blend of soy sauce and sesame oil, and garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and appeal.
Salmon Preparation
- Pat dry salmon fillets and season them with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
Serving
- Serve the crispy rice tips alongside the seared salmon fillets. Garnish with additional green onions, if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the rice before baking. Ensure the rice is spread thin on the baking sheet for maximum crispiness. Adjust baking time based on your oven and desired level of crispiness.
