Preparation
Cook cauliflower rice in a skillet over medium heat for 5–6 minutes until moisture evaporates. Remove from heat, then stir in rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Spread evenly into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, combine salmon, crab, mayo, cream cheese, sriracha, green onions, and soy sauce. Mix until creamy.
Spread topping mixture evenly over the cauliflower rice. Sprinkle with furikake.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, until hot and slightly golden on top.
Garnish with extra green onions, avocado, or cucumber. Scoop portions with a spoon and serve with nori sheets for wrapping.
In this review, Kirpich and colleagues examine how dietary fat composition alters the development and severity of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Drawing largely from experimental animal models, they show that diets high in linoleic acid–rich seed oils significantly worsen alcohol-induced liver damage—amplifying inflammation, oxidative stress, gut permeability, endotoxemia, and fat accumulation—whereas diets higher in saturated fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides, tend to attenuate these effects. The authors also explore emerging mechanisms, including oxidized linoleic acid metabolites and disruption of the gut–liver axis, reinforcing the idea that fat type meaningfully modifies the impact of alcohol on the liver.
