Instructions

In a small bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Pour half over the salmon fillets and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook salmon for 3–4 minutes per side, brushing with remaining sauce until caramelized and cooked through. Flake gently with a fork.
In a separate bowl, mix rice with rice vinegar and sugar for a light sushi-style flavor.
To assemble: Place a small round mold (or use a measuring cup) on a plate and layer 1/2 cup of rice at the bottom, pressing gently.
Add a layer of flaked teriyaki salmon, followed by diced pineapple, avocado slices, and cucumber.
Carefully lift the mold to reveal a stacked presentation.
Top with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of mayonnaise or extra teriyaki sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicy kick, mix a little sriracha with mayonnaise for a spicy drizzle.
Use canned pineapple if fresh isn’t available, but drain it well to avoid excess moisture.
Substitute brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
This dish can also be deconstructed and served as a rice bowl instead of stacked.
