Ingredients

Core Ingredients

  • Fresh Salmon Fillets – high quality, about 8 oz
  • Sushi Rice – 1 ½ cups uncooked
  • Japanese Mayonnaise – ½ cup
  • Sriracha or Chili Sauce – 2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
  • Nori Sheets – 4 to 6 sheets
  • Cucumber – 1 medium, thinly sliced
  • Avocado – 1 medium, thinly sliced
  • Sesame Seeds – 1 tablespoon
  • Green Onions – 2 stalks, finely chopped

Optional Variations and Garnishes

  • Extra Sriracha – for spicy mayo variation
  • Grilled Shiitake Mushrooms or Marinated Tofu – for vegetarian twist
  • Tempura Flakes – ¼ cup for crunchy texture
  • Tamari – substitute for soy sauce for gluten-free option
  • Fresh Cilantro or Shiso Leaves – for herbal infusion garnish
  • Tobiko (Flying Fish Roe) – for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cook according to package instructions. While still warm, gently mix rice with seasoned rice vinegar and allow to cool to room temperature before assembling.
  2. Bake the Salmon: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place seasoned salmon fillets on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until just cooked through but still moist. Let the salmon cool slightly, then flake it into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge. Arrange avocado and cucumber slices evenly on top, then sprinkle the flaked baked salmon over the vegetables.
  4. Add the Sauce Topping: Mix Japanese mayonnaise with sriracha to your preferred spice level. Drizzle this spicy mayo generously over the salmon layer. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the sauce for an additional flavor boost and texture.
  5. Roll and Slice: Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing firmly but gently to keep the ingredients compact. Using a sharp, damp knife, slice the roll into eight even pieces for clean, presentable sushi.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon and vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Keep your knife wet when slicing sushi to prevent the rice from sticking.
  • Do not overcook the salmon; baking until just done ensures a tender, flaky texture.
  • Season the rice well with seasoned vinegar for authentic sushi taste.
  • Chill the assembled rolls for at least 10 minutes before slicing to help them hold their shape.
