Description
These Spicy Salmon Sushi Roll‑Ups deliver the vibrant flavors of sushi in a quick, handheld format—no rolling mat or raw fish required. Creamy, spicy salmon, crisp veggies, and seasoned sushi rice are wrapped in nori for an easy, flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets nori seaweed
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt)
- 6 oz cooked salmon (canned, leftover, or freshly baked), flaked
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (regular or Japanese-style)
- 1–2 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1 small carrot, julienned or shredded
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Soy sauce (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flaked salmon with mayo and sriracha until creamy and spicy—adjust heat per preference.
- Place a nori sheet on a flat surface, rough side up. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice across the lower third of the nori.
- Top the rice with a layer of spicy salmon mixture, then line with avocado, cucumber, and carrot.
- Roll the nori tightly from the bottom up, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
- Slice into two pieces for sushi-style roll‑ups or leave whole like a wrap.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Substitute canned tuna or cooked shrimp for a different flavor.
- Use lettuce wraps or low‑carb tortillas instead of nori for a deconstructed version.
- Add cream cheese, mango slices, or top with a spicy mayo drizzle for extra flair.
- Assemble close to serving time to keep nori crisp; store ingredients separately if prepping ahead.
- Excellent portable lunch—wrap tightly for travel.
