Ingredients

Salmon

  • 10 oz salmon cubed
  • 3 tbsp Japanese mayo
  • ½ tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Cups

  • 3 sheets nori/seaweed
  • cup cooked sushi rice

Toppings

  • ½ cup green onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp furikake
  • 2 tbsp unagi sauce
  • 1 tsp sriracha

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉.
  • In a bowl, mix together the Japanese mayo, sriracha, lemon juice, and garlic.
  • Add the cubed salmon to the bowl. Make sure the salmon is well coated. Set aside.
  • Cut the nori/seaweed sheets into 8-inch squares.
  • Grab a 12-cup muffin pan. Line each cup with one square of the nori/seaweed sheet. Gently press nori down into the cups.
