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.

Hi Tracey, YAY! Thanks for trying them out and the rating on the site is much appreciated! Cheers!
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!!
Can I use white or brown jasmine rice instead of sticky rice?
absolutely any rice works!
Are these good after being frozen and reheated? Is there a way to meal prep it?
easy to cook.😊
these looks great! is your oven temp fan forced or conventional? thanks!
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!
Am i able to substitute the fresh salmon with a frozen one thats been thawed?
HI Sarah, yes, you can use thawed frozen salmon!
I love this idea for sure I will try
Awesome! You will love them!
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?

Regular muffin tray
When I tried this the crust was not spicy- otherwise it was delicious. Any suggestion?
Everybody liked it. Scored with them 200%. Thank you
Hi Ann, FANTASTIC! Happy they were enjoyed by all!
hi Stella! they are delicious! 151 grams per 1 piece?
Simply Awesome!!!!
Hi Mayra, Happy you enjoyed them! Thanks for the review!!
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!
