Salmon Onigiri with Coho Salmon Meat

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp kewpie mayo

  • 2 tsp sriracha

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1-2 cups cooked and cooled sushi rice

  • avocado

  • nori sheets

  • soy sauce for serving

Directions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix Coho salmon meat with 1 tablespoon of Kewpie mayo, 1 teaspoon of sriracha, and a dash of sesame oil. Adjust spice level to taste.

  2. Prepare the Avocado: Slice the avocado into small cubes and set aside.

  3. Shape the Rice: Place a handful of cooled sushi rice on a piece of saran wrap and flatten it into a small patty.

  4. Add the Filling: Place a spoonful of the salmon mixture and a few avocado cubes in the center of the rice.

  5. Seal the Onigiri: Use the saran wrap to gently mold the rice around the filling, shaping it into a triangle or ball, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
