Spicy Salmon Rice Muffins
These bite sized sushi rice muffins were gone in minutes. My family loves sushi but I hate paying $20 per roll at the restaurant since my kids need at least 2 rolls to feel full. Yes they love to eat. This is basically a delicious alternative with a fraction of the cost.
The idea started on TikTok from a food blogger by the nam of Victoria Minell @torminell – she has some amazing recipes and I highly suggest you check her out!

Spicy Salmon Rice Muffins
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 sheets nori paper
- 1½ cups cooked sushi rice, cooled
Salmon:
- 1 lb salmon, skin removed + cubed small
- 2 tbs sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 1 tbs low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbs honey
- 2 scallions, diced
- 1/2 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano
- salt to taste
Spicy Mayo:
- 1/4 cup kewpie mayo
- 2 tsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp honey
Toppings:
- 1/2 avocado, diced small
- 2 tsp black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grab a scissor and cut your nori sheets into four equal squares.
- Toss your cubed salmon in a bowl with all of the rest of the salmon ingredients and coat. Marinate for up to 4 hours.
- To each nori square, add about 1 heaping tablespoon of rice and spread out slightly. Transfer the square to your muffin slot, pushing down gently to center the rice in the middle with the edges coming up along the sides of the slot. Grab out 4-5 salmon cubes and fill each muffin slot. Transfer the pan to your oven and bake for 15-17 minutes. Broil, if needed, at the end, to get a little tan on the salmon .. 1-2 minutes.
- Remove allow to cool slightly and top with your avocado, sesame seeds and drizzle of spicy mayo.
Spicy Mayo:
- In a small bowl, mix the kewpie mayo, sriracha and honey. Taste and adjust if needed.
These are delicious!! Like being served at a high-end restaurant. My picky husband loved them!
Hi Suzy, Glad you both enjoyed them! Thanks for the rating and happy holidays!
My daughter and I have been following you on Instagram and love your recipes. We both live gluten-free and since we were in the middle of a move we were not able to make any of your recipes, UNTIL today. These little salmon bites were amazing. What a clever idea!
Can’t wait to try all the other recipes you have posted.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Hi Diana, glad the kitchens are back up and running! Enjoy the recipes and sharing with your daughter especially! Cheers!
Amazing! Hubby, 16 yo daughter, and I loved them. Will absolutely make again, and will probably double the recipe. Also my first time trying kewpie mayo and I’m hooked.
HI Christy, YEA Kewpie mayo is once you go kewpie you cant go back! Thanks for the rating and I’m really happy the family loved it!
These were simple and delicious. Did add some toasted Panko, green onions and Ponzu for garnish as it needed a bit more pizzazz. Next time I’m going to bake less so the salmon is more rare. Loved it!
Hi Angela, I LOVE your add ins! Delicious toppings.. Thanks for trying them out! Cheers!
YUM 😋
Loved it! The only thing I would omit or reduce is the oregano, found it odd.
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed them!
We Greeks, and oregano and olive oil is our heritage
FACT
Hi! This recipe was awesome :)! I made them Yesterday and I succeeded great :)! They are really good when they are slightly warm, better than normal sushi rolls. I decided to do these often, the recipe was so great! Thanks :)!
Br Jukka (from Finland)
That’s fantastic! Thank you for trying the recipe! Cheers!
I tried your recipe and it was delicious. My 5 yr old and 10 yr old sons loved it also. The only problem I had was my muffins were soggy on the bottom so we weren’t able to pick them up to eat. How do I prevent that from happening?
I also made a keto version for myself and just left rice out. So delicious!
Hello Helene! You can also try cauliflower rice for a keto version next time!!
I’m not sure, mine crisped up.. did you use olive oil in the muffin tray? I did not… Maybe the brand of nori paper?
Mine were squishy too and hard to get out but OMG! So good. I think my rice was too wet/I added too much…
Hi Jennifer, Yes, I have found if you add too much, it will be too heavy to keep form. Glad you liked them though!!
I used some leftover cold rice in some and new, not totally cooled rice in the others, and the slightly warm rice made the nori soft
What kind of Nori paler would you recommend? First time making any type of sushi & I want it to be amazing! No idea what’s good!
Ugh – fat thumbs … paper!
The layer of rice prevents the moisture from making the bottom soggy
I cooled my rice on a sheet pan for a bit which I think was helpful with wicking away any moisture as well. My cups were nice and crispy and a breeze to pull out the pans. Perhaps that might help?
These are incredible! What a delicious way to make salmon rolls. I am making these for the second time this week! The whole family loves them.
Hi Amanda, That’s awesome and I’m happy they were a hit with everyone!
This was so yummy! I loved how quick and easy it was to make too. 5/5 stars and family approved.
Hi Susanne, Glad everyone loved them! Thanks for the rating!
I’m making these today and have a question. For the cooked sushi rice, is it to be prepared as for sushi (with rice wine vinegar and sugar) or just long grain sticky rice that is cooked normally? Thanks – looking forward to these!
Hi Marla, I made mine with plain sushi rice.. no vinegar etc. just salt. And it turned out amazing
So good!!
Hi Marco, glad you liked them!
what is the serving size for nutritional information, please. Made these tonight and we really enjoyed them. thank you.
One ‘muffin’ but I have two or three per serving.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Mary, Thank you for the rating!
I just made it, AMAZING!!! so delicious
thank you!
Awesome! Thank you for trying them!
this is my exact recipe from over 40ish years ago when i created it.
i created this recipe ,as well with shrimp ,tuna,eel,squid,and a few other fish. i been cooking these since the very early 80s.
We loved them but I was hoping the nori would come out crispy. It was a bit soggy. Any idea why or what to do next time?
Hi Michelle, I’m sorry they came out soggy. May I ask what type of pan you used, metal or silicone. You can also try spraying the muffin slots with olive oil and par baking them for 4 minutes without the rice. Take them out and then add in the rice and salmon. Let me know if you try it!
maybe bake it a little with no filling then squish in rice?
The salmon is delicious! However I found it only needs 11 – 12 minutes in a hot oven. Also the ‘muffins’ tend to collapse once plated. Would definitely make again but maybe as a tray-bake. Used a pre-made sriracha mayo and it was fine
Hi Kat, glad you enjoyed the recipe! Please keep in mind every oven is different and everyone enjoys different degrees of doneness with fish. A Tray Bake is a wonderful idea! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
Simply Awesome!!!!
Hi Mayra, Happy you enjoyed them! Thanks for the review!!
hi Stella! they are delicious! 151 grams per 1 piece?
Everybody liked it. Scored with them 200%. Thank you
Hi Ann, FANTASTIC! Happy they were enjoyed by all!
When I tried this the crust was not spicy- otherwise it was delicious. Any suggestion?
Mini muffin tins or regular?
Regular muffin tray
2 stars bc presentation was horrible! Nori paper completely Soft, not crisp as pictured. Did not hold shape at all. Followed directions exactly. What what wrong. What brand if paper do u use?
I love this idea for sure I will try
Awesome! You will love them!
Am i able to substitute the fresh salmon with a frozen one thats been thawed?
HI Sarah, yes, you can use thawed frozen salmon!
it tasted very good but as everyone else stated the nori absolutely does not get crispy and it falls apart from the stuff inside of it. but again tasted great!
easy to cook.😊
these looks great! is your oven temp fan forced or conventional? thanks!
Are these good after being frozen and reheated? Is there a way to meal prep it?
Can I use white or brown jasmine rice instead of sticky rice?
absolutely any rice works!
These were amazing, but mine fell apart like some of the other commenters. What brand of nori did you use and where do you purchase it? Thank you so much for an amazing and adorable recipe!!
These were a hit! Thank you for sharing your recipe and I can’t wait to try more of your creations!
Hi Tracey, YAY! Thanks for trying them out and the rating on the site is much appreciated! Cheers!
I made this today thank you so much for sharing it was absolutely delicious 😋
Hi Nancy, Glad you liked them! Thanks for taking the time to leave a rating!
totally making this this week end! what would serve with it other than a green salad?
Hi Avi, I would definitely serve salad – should suffice depending on how many people you have! I mean its pretty all in one dish!
Any suggestions on making it a chicken or beef version please??
Made them three times already, sooo good!!! Thanks for the recipe!
Did you spray the muffin tins with oil
no spray here!
The flavor was excellent. My avocado wasn’t ripe so I omitted it and look forward to making them again with the avocado. But I did have a few issues. My “muffins” stuck to the muffin tin something fierce. I’m back here to read through the instructions in the blog to see if the tin should have been sprayed and that instruction was overlooked in the printable version but no, I see in the comments that you don’t spray. Like others, my muffins also kind of fell apart, of course, the fact that they stuck to the tin so much didn’t help that aspect. So I think that what I did wrong, was that I had prepared the ingredients, put everything together and set the tin aside while I was working on a couple other dishes so that I could then cook everything at the same time. Perhaps the moisture from the rice and the salmon went into the nori thus making it more susceptible to sticking to the baking tin? So next time I will put everything together and immediately put it into the oven. I may give the tin a bit of a spritz of cooking spray too. I will also gently push everything down into the muffin tin to sort of lightly compact the rice which I think will help prevent the “muffins” from falling apart while plating.
We will make these again. Halibut, Tuna or Salmon. Delicious!!
So simple and delicious! thank you Stella 🙂
will the salmon fully cook ?
pregnant and craving sushi so trying some alternatives😅
Hi,
I don’t know if you’re still pregnant, but I wanted to let you know information that was AMAZING to me during my pregnancies. It turns out raw fish in this country is not a risk to your pregnancy (except high mercury fish, of course). I read a book called Expecting Better, and she researched and dispelled many of the current thoughts on all those things we “shouldn’t” do during pregnancy.
Here is a separate article relating the same information – https://www.lucieslist.com/pregnant-food-safety/#gref
Good luck on the rest of your pregnancy. Or congratulations, you’re done!
I love that You can play with the toppings and turn out a restaurant quality presentation. So delicious and easy!
This is superb 👍 it’s like going to the moon and back.. Me n hubby obsession towards this Salmon sushi.. Never enough.. The best ever.. Better then sushi restaurant because I can put a lots of salmon and everything on it.. Hahaha..love to the max 😍
Hi Vieann, That’s so awesome I’m so glad you like the recipe so much! Cheers to you both!
These were DELICIOUS!! I didn’t use most of the spices as I didn’t have them on hand, and still, the flavour was insanely yummy. Cooked them for 15 mins at the suggested temp, but for the last 4 minutes, turned the oven up to broil, resulting in a lightly crispy exterior on the salmon. I only used Mirin and salt for the rice and would do it again!
Can’t wait to make them again– they will make an awesome quick pick me up snack.
Hi Rachel, Oh that’s awesome and thanks for sharing your feedback with us so that others can use your tips.Cheers!
can I make these the day before?
Hi Sharon, If you’re not planning on reheating them and eating them cold – then yes.
Easy and delicious!
Hi Tracey, glad you liked the salmon dish! And thanks for rating it!
Hi! Can i ask what i can use instead of nori? I’m allergic to seaweed. Thanks!
Wonton wrappers or flour tortillas
Just live it. Make it for the first time I was a little scared, great combination!
Glad you liked the dish! thanks for trying them out!
I have to make these! Is the sesame oil the raw untoasted kind or the stronger flavored toasted kind? Thanks!
untoasted sesame oil here.
This recipe is brilliant. My self proclaimed sushi snob boyfriend called them “divine.” Will be making these again and trying the shrimp version as well. Note: didn’t have kewpie Mayo but used Best Foods and it worked beautifully.
Hi Julia, Well that’s a great compliment for the recipe but I’m sure you a fabulous chef!
Question: non-stick or regular muffin pan (with no oil)?
Can I use the precut sea weed squares sold in packets.
Do I need to spray Pam in the muffin tin before baking? Wanna make sure they come out easily
Yes, I dont see why not on both questions!
I used the pre-cut squares, and they were too small. I had to put everything in a paper cupcake liner and eat with a fork. The nori sheets are much larger and stick up out of the cupcake tin.
Φανταστικός/Fantastic!!
These were a definitive success!!
Made a double portion at once!
I made them in silicone moulds, with the rice cooked and cooled. They came out perfect. Sprayed a little oil in the moulds. The nori was crisp.
There was even more filling and rice so I used a smaller bread mould and it too came out perfect!
This will be made again and again 😁
Hello Mikael, that sounds amazing in the loaf pan! I think I need to try it!! Thanks for sharing your feedback! Cheers!
Great recipe and was a hit with my husband. I used brown rice and it turned out great. Thanks!
Hi Yen, glad you both enjoyed them! Thanks for the review!!
Absolutely loved them! Super easy and yummy! Definitely going to make them again.
Hi Chelsey, Glad they will be repeated! Thanks so much for trying them out!
So soooo good 👌👌 i didn’t have honey so i put maple sirop. Omg I’m gonna do this recipe very often i think
Hi Kate, If you love it, definitely make it again! Cheers!
yummy for my tummy
Tried these last night! I’ll say this it was so nice I had to do it twice so yes I’m making them again tonight! My only issue I came across was my bottoms were crunchy. How do I prevent that ?
I would love to make these Stella as I have made many of your recipes for my family and they are always loved and finished. In the video you mention tapioca starch, but it’s not listed and I wondered how much of it I needed to put in the salmon?
Thank you
Linda from Australia. 🤗
These were a huge hit with the family. We used brown rice and wild Pacific salmon which worked out well as healthy options.
Made it as part of our Christmas dinner and it was really good!!
First time using the kewpie mayo and it tasted good as well
Im gonna try sriracha mayo on my next attempt and see if it taste as good
Have made 3 times now! So good. Made on Christmas morning and now family wants for New Year’s Eve.
Wow. So delicious. Everybody loved it. 🤩😍
Everyone loved. I made exactly as is all same ingredients, no subs. Came out perfect. 22 year old daughter, her fiancé, 20 year old son, 11 year old daughter, wife. All loved them.
These look yummy. Would it be possible to bake the nori with the rice and then add the salmon mixture to keep it raw? Would anything need to be changed in the recipe to do it that way?
C est très bon
Moi qui aime les sushis chauds
merci
do you spray the muffin pan with non-stick before loading them?
Great recipe! Make sure to put the rice on the nori square, before you push it into the muffin hole, or it will rip 😉
Going to try this with Ahi Tuna as well!
We loved it!
Fabulous deliciousness , This is so a Keeper, and for our next one, Ahai Tuna!, thank You!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I made these and the shrimp ones tonight! I had no idea spicy mayo was so easy to make. I added Cucumber and avocado on top too. it tastes soooo good!
My son who is a very picky eater devoured it so fast and asked for more! Can’t wait to try the other recipes you have! Thanks for sharing:)!
These are amazing! The second time around, I used a mini muffin tin, which made them more bite-sized. My husband can nearly eat a tray of 12 himself. lol
thanks!
I’m curious how this would be prepared in a raw format?
Oven temperature? It’s not in the recipe.
Hi Dori, its on the instructions at 400F – enjoy!!
is it trus that the salmon needs to be marinate for 4 hours?
No – I only let mine marinate for 30 minutes and it was delicious!
These are fab are your nutritional values per what serving size please ?
I wonder if this would work with canned salmon? ( from TJ) just for times when I don’t feel like going to the store and want to use pantry items. What do you think?
I am absolutely hooked, the honey balanced it off so well, at times it felt like I was in a Japanese restaurant, I substituted avocados for thinly sliced cucumbers with extra green onions on top. Fresh and easy to make! I’m looking forward to your airfryer recipe. Thank you! this was delicious
Would these freeze well do you think?
These were delicious, but they did not hold their shape and fell apart. A bit of an embarrassment for me with my company. How do I correct that problem?
If I can figure it out, I will make this over and over again they were so good
These were easy to make and as delicious as they look! If you cut the salmon up ahead of time, precooked the rice, and pre-mixed the marinade and mayo on the weekend, this could be a quick and easy weekday dinner. This is going to be a new staple at my house. Absolutely delicious!
AMAZING taste and beautiful presentation. Easy enough to make and highly impressive.
I made these and literally everyone had them but only three left for me making them again next week this will go on rotation for sure !
I made these last night. OMG. My son and husband said DEEELISH and it looked like it came from a fancy restaurant! Love, love, love your recipes!
These were delicious! The directions were spot on. Definitely a keeper recipe’
I LOVE these. I’ve made them three times in the last three weeks.
Hi. Do you oil the muffin tin?
Thank you for sharing this recipe. It was amazing!!
I made these tonight for supper, what a hit they were! They are going to be a staple in our house, easy to make and delicious to eat.
Delicious!!
They came soooo good! Awesome recipe!
I love these! My husband loves these! My friends love these! So easy, so delicious!
Fabulous! Easy to follow instructions and delicious!!
I used a big muffin size and 1-2 muffins are enough for 1 meal!
Can you recommend a substitute for kewpie mayo?
HI Cindy, just use any regular mayo like Hellmans. I do that all the time if i’m out of kewpie. Or use avocado mayo which i like too.
I used cubed tuna steaks and it was good as well!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE 💗
Absolutely love them, but won’t add the sesame oil. It just overpowers everything. I added some lime juice to the avocado and it really worked.
Easy and delicious— my husband and I made these for afternoon snack. We swapped out honey and used brown sugar in the seasoning, added diced cucumber and a pinch of crumbled French’s French fried onion with the diced avocado for topping, and drizzled a sriracha spicy Mayo for color and taste on top! Shared pictures with friends who immediately wanted the recipe!
Delicious
Thanks so much fro trying them !!!
These are delicious! I doubled the recipe and used the other half to mage salmon sushi bowls. They’re so good and assemble so easily! I marinated the salmon overnight.
Hi Amy, glad you enjoyed them!! Smart move marinating the fish overnight!!
i havent tried this recipe yet. I’m not just real fond of the Nori paper. Would the muffins form without the paper? or is there a substitute?
You can try wonton wrappers instead! or a cut out flour tortilla
these are so good.and recipe is so easy to follow.everytime i served them its the first one to be done and got lots of compliments.
Do you think I could use tuna steaks for this?
Hi Tanya, Yes this is such a versatile recipe!
LOVE these!!!! They are delicious and when I make them, it makes me look like I know what I am doing in the kitchen!!! 10 thumbs up
Hi Allison, YOU DO KNOW what you’re doing though!!!! Glad you tried them and enjoyed them! Cheers to you!
Do these reheat well? I’m making them for the first time, as we speak!
Hi Sophia! I know you will enjoy them! I don’t generally reheat fish but you can, slowly. Another thing I do is take it out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to consuming, for it to come to room temperature.
Only note I would add, would be to change the prep time since the salmon needs to marinate and the rice is supposed to be cooled. Definitely not a 15 min prep if you’re including those.
Hi Christa, thank you for your feedback and trying out the recipe!
awesome!
Hi Debbie, Thank you for trying them out!!
I have a question. With using the cooking instructions, does that fully cook the salmon? I am not a huge fan of uncooked fish, but this sounds amazing!
Hi Cassandra, I am on the same wave length as you lol I can only eat my salmon fully cooked!
So it is safe to assume that this will be fully cooked is what you’re saying?
Easy recipe to follow.. very impressive finish and so delicious !!
these are a keeper 😋
GLad you liked them! and thanks for the rating too!
Can’t wait to try this. Will this work without nori if I just put rice down then salmon on top ?
HI Kristina, I have not tried this and I don’t think it will work. The rice will fall apart…
Amazing, just like an expensive sushi restaurant!, I love all your recipes
I am a first time nori user…if it crispy when you buy it how do you push it into the muffins cups?
Hi m- I love love love this recipe
I don’t like spicy – so I made a mayo Unagi sauce … Yyyuuummm!!!
I also made half with Tuna and the other half with Salmon.
Absolutely love this recipe ! Filling, healthy, flexible (can modify macros and still amazing), and deeply satisfying. Love eating this cold as much as warm. Wonderful meal for busy work days. Has quickly become a go to recipe here
These look beautiful, and they’re delicious. They were a big hit at my party. Oh, and they’re super easy!
I thought this was yummy but I thought the salmon would have way more flavor after marinating with all those spices. My husband and I felt it was a little bland. And I am sensitive to heat but didn’t alter a thing. So it’s unusual for me to think something bland lol. Anyone do anything to give it a little more flavor?
does it matter if the nori is toasted or not? (ie raw or toasted) taste issue?
I would like to make this for a party. can I assemble then put them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours then in the oven
my grand daughter made these,,,we LUV them!
these came out perfect I thought tasted best cold I served in white paper cupcake liners they’re beatifiul and delicious
Hi these were yummy however my nori did not crisp up at all. It was impossible to eat them with your hands. Any suggestions please
I made the sushi cups for Super Bowl Sunday, and the nori paper was really soggy. How do you avoid the nori getting soggy? I actually ended up, pealing it off all of them, and just eating them without the Nori at all.
So delicious!
I made these with super firm tofu, sliced into 8 sheets, pressed to remove some liquid, then cubed. I also added some edamame to the tofu/marinade. The kids loved them! My picky first grader even asked for seconds!
Hey Alisa, thanks so much for sharing you tips and feedback with everyone! Always welcomed and encouraged! I’m glad the family liked the dish too!
fabulous
Thank you Rene!!!!
If i am making this recipe twice in one week it’s because it is very good! 🤤
Hi Josee! I know the feeling and I’m so happy you liked the recipe!
Fantastic dinner– straightforward and lovely presentation. I used a mini scooper to measure out my cooked rice, and spread it out in a 2″ thin layer (like for a sushi roll) in the middle of the seaweed so it wasn’t too thick. Upped the salmon for a more protein rich dinner.
Hi Carole, Bravo well done and thank you for sharing your tips!
Kids loved it.
We just made this recipe tonight & it was absolutely delicious!! We loved it.
Thank you for this recipe 😀
if you put dry rice in muffin tin before you put nori it keeps them from getting soggy bottom and it brushes off when you take out of the pan
I cannot get the nori to crisp up. What ami doing wrong?
These were so yummy!!! Although I made without the chili powder, paprika, or oregano (just to focus on the Japanese flavors). I made the sauce with the mayo, chili-garlic sauce, and 2 Tablespoons Bachan’s Japanese BBQ Sauce (soooo good; I also marinated the cubed salmon pieces in the Bachan’s first), then used silicone muffin cups and cooked in my air fryer on the air fryer setting (400 F) for 10-15 minutes and, topped with the sauce, avocado, scallions, and sesame seeds they were so delicious. Thank you, this recipe really came together so easily and is definitely a keeper!
I made my own version of this recipe by changing up some ingredients and it ended up being fabulous! I used 440g of salmon marinated in soy sauce, maple syrup, white pepper, sesame oil and freshly grated garlic and ginger. I also added rice wine to my jasmine rice to make it sticky. It was topped with avocado and some had toasted sesame seeds with nori, others didn’t. We also topped some with spicey mayo, others with plain kewpie. I cooked the salmon at 200°C for 8 minutes and then broiled for another 3 and found it was perfectly cooked, without drying out the fish. Highly recommend trying this!
EDIT: I meant rice vinegar, not rice wine! 😊
These were so simple to do and so delicious. Thank you for the recipe. Everyone was excited to eat them.
Holy cow these were yummy and easy! We didn’t let them marinate for four hours because we were pressed for time but let it soak for an hour and it was still DEE-LI-CIOUS! A definite keeper.
These look delicious! Any ideas on how to make these whole30 approved?
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Do you recommend marinating for the whole 4 hours? I was in a hurry so i didn’t this time, but i love love love these!! Thank you for sharing with us!
Hi Maddy, I believe mine only marinated for 1 hour and I loved them. FOr sure the longer the marinade the better… with a cap of course. 4 hours sounds perfect to me!
I added lil cubes of cream cheese to the topping and I used dehydrated shallots to the marinade cuz. Didn’t have scallions. Served with a side dish of Thai peanut noodles Yummy!!
One word. WOW!!!!
Made this few times and taste superb! Innovate by getting chicken to substitute salmon too, still taste awesomely good
Made as written. Great sushi flavors. A keeper!
will these keep if I make them a day ahead for school lunches?
absolutely!
these are the best
Absolutely delicious! Everyone in my house loved it, we make these at least once a week now. Thank you!
Can I substitute Arborio rice for sushi rice?
Hi Kim, You can use any rice you have! I used sushi rice here though.
Hi there! Planning on making these tonight, can I use any salmon? Or is sashimi grade salmon best?
Hi Mike, you can use any salmon you have – just cook it till it reaches an internal temperature of 145 F if its not sushi grade!
We loved them.
omg these are fabulous! so tasty. made them tonight and I am off to the shops again tomorrow to buy more salmon to cook them again tomorrow
HI Linda, glad you liked the dish so much! That’s great they’re already on repeat!!
Can you make night before and eat cold? Or is it best to make fresh just before eating…
HI Carla, I personally prefer them warm, but that’s just me. You can make them ahead though and eat them cold too! Its up to you!
Family loves these so much its now a weekly staple thank you for sharing love your recipes
Hi Celeste, glad EVERYONE enjoys them! Thanks for trying them!
How do you reheat the leftover ones?
Hi,
I made these last night for dinner for my 86 year old Mom, who Im looking after, and my Gluten free,sushi loving daughter,using Atlantic salmon trimmings.
My shells ( nori paper) turned out a bit soggy in some areas even though I blotted the salmon after coming out of that delicious marinade! Maybe I should have placed them on a lower rack in the oven? However, they were really good. My Daughter gave them a 10! My Mom enjoyed the change!
Will definitely make these again!
I think Ill use baby scallops next time 🙂
Looking forward to checking out your other recipes!
I’ve made these twice, and the second time was for the game night we hosted. Everyone loved them, they were gone in 5 minutes!
Hi, why is the receipe so different from the one in the video you posted on facebook?
Hi Marc, there are two different sushi style rice muffin recipes on my website…
Delicious and stupid easy. I did take your broad hint and made the mayonnaise. Goodbye Hellmans! to purchase commercial mayonnaise ever again. It was that easy and that fast. For the garnish, I added a little Wassabi to the mayonnaise. That was an excellent decision as it blended well with the other good things going on in this recipe. I also put some finally diced avocado on the top, mainly because I had an avocado that I worried was going bad. That was definitely not a necessary addition, but I don’t think it messed up anything in the recipe or the overall concept. If you want a picture, let me know how to get one to you. Thanks for the great recipe.
Absolutely addictive.
Hi Tanja, yes they are!!
Absolutely delicious! I have made this several times and had to share the recipe with several people. I did make one addition which was to add some furikake seasoning to the rice. Even without it this recipe is excellent though!
Hi Jonathan, I LOVE furikake! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and for sharing the recipe with your friends!!
I’m not sure what everyone is talking about, my nori came out crispy and perfect. I even did the 2 min broil so maybe that made it crispy? Loved this recipe! Thx for sharing!
Hi Alina, so glad it worked out for you! Thank you for the kind rating!
Family said this was “restaurant quality”! It was easy and so delicious. The whole tray was gone in minutes. Will be making these again and again!
Hi Neil, glad EVERYONE enjoyed them! Thank you for taking the time to review and rate the dish!
This is Amazing!! The family loved it and I will definitely make it again. Thank you for the great idea!
What are your thoughts of cooked leftovers after being in fridge overnight?
I made it!!!! Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My family love it. thank you so much!!!!!
amazing recipe, easier than rolling sushi
HI Emma, for sure easier! Thanks for the kind review!
Very easy to make. Appreciated by everyone who sampled them. Going to have to make some more as they didn’t last very long!
How big should the salmon cubes be? I can’t find it
Only thing I’d change is swap mayo for greek yogurt for a healthier dish. otherwise incredible!! The salmon is just delicious!!
When I happened upon this recipe I knew I was going to “love” it. Sadly missed the mark for me. I followed the recipe and only change was I used white toasted sesame seeds. I thought it lacked flavor despite the marination time and for me definitely not what I would call “spicey”. I decreased the baking time to 10 min and then under broiler for 2 min probably should have baked for 8min then under broiler for 2. As with many foods the degree of “doneness” is an individual preference. Unfortunately I will not be making this recipe again as I just didn’t enjoy it.
looks good! is the nutrition info per serving, and what is serving size?
I have troede the delicious recipe and can now “Live my life” 🥰
love that! Happpy you liked the recipe too!
My only complaint is that I didn’t double the recipe 🙂
ahahahaha same for me for most recipes!!
These came out amazing! So good!! You say 12 servings, but I say 1 big meal for me! YUM!
Hi Norma – lolol that’s right! Enjoy your spicy salmon !!
wasn’t pleased with it sticking to the pan. we added cucumbers as well at the end it ended up like a mixed salad.
5/5 – Loved it! I also added cucumber for some freshness. Maybe it’s my oven but I think 12-13 minutes would be the perfect time for the salmon as it came out slightly overdone.
Hi Ulrike, Yes, all ovens vary in strength! Glad you ended up liking them and appreciate your kind rating! Thank you!
these were delish!!! my kids even ate them, I just subs the Chipotle mayo on theirs for honey! thank you, I love making your recipes, so many have become staples❤️
Hi Michelle, SO glad the whole family likes it! And thank YOU for trying out my recipes!
This is the first recipe from your website I tried, months ago – and to this day it remains my ABSOLUTE favourite, not only compared to your other recipes but to all I’ve ever tried. Easy preparation, simple ingredients, but what a taste! Something like sushi 2.0.
(The only thing I changed is the mayo, as I don’t particularly like the taste of kewpie mayo, nor spiciness. That also slimmed down the calories, haha: kewpie mayo, honey, vinegar – so good! :))
ok. what did i do wrong. all soft and not crunchy. can’t get them out of the tray without failing apart. do you need a picture? so sorry. i was very excited and followed the recipe.
OH MY GOSH!!! Tonight I am making them for the 4th time. My family and then some LOVE THEM! You should have patented them. LOL. (Thank you!!)
Great recipe for a quick, healthful meal of salmon. Thanks!
Pretty darn tasty! I didn’t have any salmon so I used sushi grade tuna. The nori didnt crisp up and maybe it wasn’t supposed to, idk.
I’ll try it again!
Thank you for the fun recipe!
Loved this recipe – I did cheat a little and use store bought sriracha mayo
Thank you fore recipe !!
Absolutely amazing!
Hi! Is there a way to make these in a non spicy version? Thanks so much!!
Hi Bex, all you have to do is leave out the spicy elements of the recipe like the Sriracha.
A real crowd pleaser. Has anyone tried it on convection oven?
Love this recipe! I’ve made it twice now and my whole family eats it. So delicious!
Hi! Can you reheat the leftovers the next day?
Hi! Can you reheat the leftovers the next day?
C
Can I substitute with tuna? Same cook time?
Hi! Can we marinate the salmon overnight? Or prepare the sushi rice from the day before?
This is a great dish. Made it for dinner tonight and it was fantastic!
I’ll certainly make it again (and again and again!!)
I’m really sorry so wanted this to be the best thing I’d ever eaten and expected to be leaving a great review especially as your recipes are so interesting and they just look stunning but they didn’t live up to expectations as I thought they would be EVEN better than raw….they weren’t…I love cooked salmon but for my taste, the already once cooked sushi rice doesn’t improve with being reheated I think sushi rice with fish is best left as raw fish and eaten cold, only my opinion and I hope others will try it at least once.
These are delicious. DE-LISH. Made these for the superbowl and had eaten 5 of them (which made me full 🤣) before anyone realized they were ready!
Delicious!! I was looking for a variety of salmon recipes and this is a winner! It’s quick with lots of flavor and light. Thank you!
I was disappointed, they were just ok, the oregano does not belong, it is not an Asian herb, and does not blend well. The honey is not needed in the sriracha mayo, as sriracha is already sweet and it made the sauce too sweet. The cooking time was also too long and made the salmon much drier than it should be. The rice should have been seasoned with seasoned rice vinegar to give it more dimension.
I’m thinking about replacing rice with cauliflower. excellent recipe?
PERFECT AND DELICIOUS!!
Thank you very much for the recipe! 😘😘
Hi Raquel, glad you liked it! and thanks for the kind rating@
I made it already many times, I also added some shrimps to part of the cupcakes. Thank you for this great recipe, it’s just perfect for a party or friends’ visit. 🙏
Hi Joanna, Sounds amazing with the shrimp too! Glad it was a winner for you! Thanks for trying it!
it was a hit at my house every one loved them
So glad it was enjoyed by all!
hi stella.
second time making them today. just thought i’d let you know this recipe is a keeper 🙂 many thanks for sharing it with us. 🥰
Hi Cuci, so glad the recipe is to your liking and thanks for coming back to leave this kind feedback!
I love this idea! But you don’t have the measurements for the final sauce on top. Any possibility you could provide. Thanks
Hi Leslie, It should be there let me double check – sorry about that!
This recipe has changed the way I eat sushi! Well Salmon! Since I’ve made this 3 years ago, people have been asking me to make for them too and they want to pay!! lol. It’s definitely a genius sub for raw sushi! So delicious!
Hi Mo, LOL that’s so awesome! I see a side hustle emerging!!!
we made two of your receipts and they are so good that we want to make more.
Hi Sapna, thank you so much for trying them out! I hope you enjoy all that you make!
Can c I make this recipe 1 to 2 days before?
Hi Noella, i would not make it more than a day in advance. but I also prefer my salmon fresh and can’t really eat it cold. Its all a matter of preference.
