Description
Spicy salmon sushi rolls are a popular and flavorful sushi option. They feature raw salmon mixed with a spicy sauce, often served with rice and nori.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces sushi-grade salmon, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
- 1–2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- Optional: sesame seeds, cucumber strips, avocado strips
Instructions
- Cook sushi rice according to package directions.
- While rice is cooking, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve.
- Once rice is cooked, transfer it to a large non-metallic bowl. Gradually add the vinegar mixture, gently folding it into the rice with a rice paddle or spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the chopped salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce.
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
- Wet your hands to prevent rice from sticking. Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about a 1-inch border at the top.
- Spoon a line of the spicy salmon mixture across the center of the rice. Add any optional fillings like cucumber or avocado.
- Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori tightly from the bottom up. Press gently to seal the edge.
- Repeat with remaining nori, rice, and filling.
- Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife.
Notes
- Ensure your salmon is sushi-grade for safe consumption.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
