- 1 Tbsp brown sugar (12g) 12g
- 1/2 tsp each: garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, sweet paprika, salt (or to taste)
- 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce (15g)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3 sheets roasted nori paper
- 1.5 cups cooked sushi rice (300g)
Spicy mayo:
- 1/4 cup light mayo (60g)
- 1-2 tsp Sriracha sauce to taste
Toppings:
- 1/2 avocado (70g) finely diced
- 2 green onions finely sliced
- 2 tsp sesame seeds white & black
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a muffin pan.
- Whisk the spices together in a bowl. Add the salmon, soy sauce and olive oil and toss to coat. Marinate in the fridge while you prepare the rest.
- Mix sriracha and mayo together in a small bowl.
- Using scissors, cut the nori sheets into four equal squares to make 12 small sheets.
- Add 2 tablespoons of rice to each square of nori and add it to the muffin pan. Repeat for all the nori.
- Take the salmon out of the fridge and spoon evenly over top. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked and golden brown* Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a little char (if desired).
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Use a butter knife to help wedge out. Drizzle with spicy mayo and top with diced avocado, green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!
Notes
*Baking time needed will depend on the size of your salmon pieces.
Store these sushi cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I enjoy these cold straight from the fridge but you can also reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer warm.
