Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Avocado oil spray
  • 6 large nori sheets
  • 1 lb sushi-grade salmon, skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium tamari (or soy sauce)
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1–2 teaspoons sriracha
  • Furikake, for garnish
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced thin on a bias

Instructions

  1. Cook the sushi rice: Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
  2. Season the rice: Remove from heat, let it rest with the lid on for 10 minutes. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the rice gently.
  3. Prepare the muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a muffin tin with avocado oil. Cut nori sheets into squares and place in muffin cups.
  4. Assemble the filling: In a bowl, mix diced salmon with tamari and sesame oil. Fold in mayonnaise and sriracha.
  5. Fill the nori cups: Spoon the salmon mixture into each cup, packing it lightly.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until edges are crisp.
  7. Garnish: Carefully remove from muffin tin, allow to cool slightly, sprinkle with furikake and garnish with green onions.

Notes

These cups are versatile and perfect for meal prep. Fill them just before baking for the best texture.
