Ingredients
Fresh salmon fillet, finely chopped – 6 oz
Sushi rice, cooked and seasoned – 2 cups
Nori sheets (seaweed) – 4 sheets
Mayonnaise – 1/4 cup
Sriracha sauce – 2 tbsp (adjust to taste)
Cucumber, julienned – 1/2 cup
Avocado, sliced – 1 medium
Green onions, thinly sliced – 2 tbsp
Sesame seeds (optional) – 1 tbsp
Soy sauce for serving – as needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to create spicy mayo; adjust spice level to taste.
- Toss chopped salmon with a few tablespoons of spicy mayo until well coated.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or clean surface. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge.
- Arrange cucumber, avocado slices, green onions, and spicy salmon mixture in a line along the edge closest to you.
- Using the mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently to form a tight roll.
- Moisten the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
- Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp, wet knife.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if desired.
- Serve with soy sauce and extra spicy mayo on the side.
Notes
- Substitute salmon with tuna or cooked shrimp.
- Add cream cheese for a richer texture.
- Use spicy mayo with wasabi for a different kick.
- Include pickled ginger inside the roll for added tang.
- Try using brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier option.
- Best eaten fresh; store wrapped in plastic wrap in refrigerator up to 24 hours.
- Avoid reheating to preserve texture and flavor.
