Japanese Salmon and Avocado Rice image

This dish contains the goodness of sushi without the painstaking rolling and shaping. The salmon is marinated in lemon juice and soy which 'cooks' and flavors the fish. Sushi rice is available in most stores, but if you can't find it use basmati rice instead.
