Spicy Salmon Sushi Roll
Check out this delicious looking sushi roll that’s about to become your new favorite dish. It’s a feast for both your eyes and your taste buds!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 ½ cups water
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
- 8 ounces fresh salmon, skin removed and diced
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or to taste)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Cucumber, julienned
- Soy sauce, for serving
- Wasabi, for serving (optional)
- Pickled ginger, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes the excess starch and keeps your sushi from being sticky.
- In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Cook according to your rice cooker instructions or boil on the stove until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved and warm. Pour this mixture over the rice and fold gently to combine. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take an even layer of sushi rice, about ¾ cup, and press it onto the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge clear of rice.
- In a bowl, mix the diced salmon with sriracha. Place a line of the spicy salmon mixture, avocado slices, and cucumber sticks at the bottom of the rice-covered nori. Don’t be shy; you want it packed and flavorful!
- Using the sushi mat, roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure as you go. Make sure to roll tightly, but not so tight that the ingredients spill out. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
- Once rolled, let it sit for a minute, then slice into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for neat slices.
- Serve your Spicy Salmon Sushi Rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger, if desired. Enjoy the flavors and impress your crew!
