Print Recipe

These Baked Salmon Sushi Cups combine tender baked salmon with sushi rice in a fun, handheld form perfect for parties or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 oz fresh salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place salmon fillet on the sheet, brush with soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Flake salmon when cooled.
  3. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a pot. Bring to boil, then simmer covered for 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold into cooked rice.
  5. Grease a standard muffin tin. Press a layer of sushi rice into each cup to form a base and sides, creating a small well in the center.
  6. Fill each rice cup with flaked salmon, a slice of avocado, and sprinkle nori strips and sesame seeds on top.
  7. Bake assembled cups for an additional 5 minutes to warm through.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add a small dollop of sriracha mayo inside each sushi cup before serving.
