Sushi is one of our favorite naturally gluten-free restaurant meals! However, it can be expensive if you eat out often. This delicious deconstructed sushi bowl will satisfy any sushi craving with almost no prep time and at a super affordable price!
If you make the rice ahead of time (we make a batch on a timer using a rice cooker, ready each morning), this meal can be ready in a jiffy. Plus, fish is one of the quickest and easiest protein sources to cook.
This bowl is also enjoyable with canned tuna (perfect for dorm-rooms and travel), edamame or tofu, and leftover cooked fish. The possibilities are endless, and the results are scrumptious!

Swap the Sriracha with honey or agave syrup for a sweet sesame dressing without the spiciness

My boyfriend and I have been making these every week! They're so easy and I love the sushi sauce. We usually use canned tuna because it's easy but I want to try cooked salmon or some sushi-grade fish from the market!
