Grate fresh garlic into the dressing and mix well.

Slice salmon into thin slices using a sharp knife.

Chop mint and cilantro, including the stems, and set aside.

Thinly slice red onion and red bell pepper for color and sweetness.

Combine the salmon with the herbs and vegetables in a bowl.

Add the toasted rice powder to the mixture, reserving some for garnish.

Pour the dressing over the salmon mixture and toss gently to combine.

Plate the salmon mixture, garnishing with reserved toasted rice powder and additional herbs.
