Rinse 1.5 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, about three times.

Soak the rinsed rice in 2 cups of water for 20 minutes.

Bring the rice to a boil, then cover and reduce heat, cooking for at least 20 minutes.

After cooking, let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season the rice with rice wine vinegar and sugar, then transfer it to a sheet pan lined with plastic wrap.

Press the rice down firmly in the pan, then cover with plastic wrap and press again.

Cut the rice into three pieces while it's slightly frozen for easier cutting.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, then fry the rice pieces until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, checking for doneness.

Prepare a sauce by mixing coconut aminos, yuzu, dark sesame oil, and hot sauce.

Chop sashimi-grade salmon into small pieces for a salmon salad topping.

Slice avocado and green onions for garnish.

Assemble the crispy rice with toppings like salmon, avocado, and drizzle with the prepared sauce.
