    Ingredients

    • 1⁄2 cup sake
    • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 2 cucumbers, thinly shaved
    • Canola oil for brushing
    • 1 pineapple, peeled and cut into planks
    • 2 zucchinis, halved lengthwise
    • 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
    • 1⁄4 cup mirin
    • 2 tablespoons sake
    • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    • 1 1⁄2 pounds salmon fillets, cut into 4 equal pieces
    • 1 tablespoon canola oil
    • Steamed sushi rice, for serving
    • 2 avocados, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced

    Preparation

    2

    1/ In a bowl, whisk together the sake, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Add the cucumbers and toss to coat. Let stand for at least 15 minutes.

    2/ Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with canola oil. Working in batches, grill the pineapple and zucchini until tender-crisp and charred, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch cubes and the zucchini into 1⁄2-inch half-moons. Keep warm.

    3/ To make the teriyaki sauce, in a small saucepan over high heat, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes.

    4/ Brush half of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, warm the canola oil. Add the salmon and sear until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and brush with the remaining teriyaki sauce.

    5/ Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Drain the cucumbers and distribute them evenly among the bowls. Top with the pineapple, zucchini, salmon, and avocado. Garnish with sesame seeds. Drizzle with soy sauce and serve.
