Alaska Sole Bowl

This easy one-pot recipe brings together delicate fish and fluffy rice in a single pan, keeping cleanup to a minimum and flavors at a maximum. As the fish steams on top of the rice, it becomes perfectly tender and infused with subtle seasoning. Once cooked, the rice gets a lift from a quick vinegar blend, while a tangy cabbage and cucumber salad adds crunch and zest. Served with fresh radishes, creamy avocado, and a sprinkle of furikake and togarashi, this dish is a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

1 cup sushi rice, rinsed several times

3/4 pound Alaska sole (flounder) filets, thawed

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar, divided

1-3/4 teaspoons sugar, divided

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus additional for seasoning

Freshly ground pepper

1-1/2 cups finely shredded purple cabbage

1/2 cup thinly sliced Persian or English cucumber

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Sliced radishes

Avocado slices

Lemon wedges

Furikake (optional)

Togarashi (optional)

Step 1

In a medium-size, heavy saucepan with a tightly fitting lid combine the rice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of water and bring to a boil. Stir in rice.  Tuck the thin ends of the fish under and place on top of rice. Cover and cook on low heat until rice and fish are cooked, about 18 minutes.  Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the rice and fish are cooking, stir together 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar and ½ teaspoon salt. Transfer cooked fish to a plate and cover to keep warm. Toss the rice with the vinegar mixture.

Step 3

At the same time, toss the cabbage and cucumbers in a large bowl with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil. Season with pepper.

Step 4

To serve, divide rice between bowls, top with the fish and the cabbage salad, radishes, avocado and lemon wedges. Sprinkle with furikake and togarashi.
