Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
- 1/2 pound sushi-grade salmon, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Soy sauce, for serving
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir until dissolved. Mix into cooked sushi rice and let cool.
- In another bowl, mix chopped salmon with mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy salmon mixture.
- Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or clean surface. Spread a thin layer of seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Arrange a line of spicy salmon mixture, cucumber, and avocado slices along the bottom edge of the rice.
- Roll the nori over fillings tightly, sealing the edge with water.
- Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use cooked shrimp or imitation crab instead of salmon.
- Add jalapeños or pickled ginger for extra spice.
- Try brown rice or quinoa for a healthier twist.
- Include cream cheese for creaminess.
- Rice paper or lettuce leaves can be used as alternative wraps.
