Set up a steamer by boiling 1 cup of water in a saucepan and placing a steaming basket over it.
Season the ocean trout or salmon fillets with a pinch of salt. Place the fish in the steamer basket, skin side down. Cover with a lid and steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is steaming, prepare the sushi salad. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sushi rice, cucumber, carrot, diced avocado, sesame seeds, spring onions, and seaweed strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, and lemon juice to create a dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the sushi salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Check the fish for doneness. Remove from the steamer and let it rest for 2 minutes.
To serve, divide the sushi salad onto two plates. Place one steamed fish fillet on top of each salad serving.
Garnish with a sprinkle of additional sesame seeds or spring onions, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light, healthy meal!
