3- Place the salmon in the preheated pan, skin-side down (if applicable). Let it cook for 4-5 minutes without moving it to allow the skin to become crispy.  

4- Turn the salmon over and let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until it’s fully cooked and has a crispy exterior. (If desired, you can splash some soy sauce and chili sauce into the pan for added flavor).  

5- Take the salmon out let it rest for a minute to cool slightly before breaking it into small, bite-sized pieces.

Assemble the Bowl

1- After the rice is cooked, portion it out into two bowls.
