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.

do you spray the muffin pan with non-stick before loading them?

merci
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?
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.
Wow. So delicious. Everybody loved it. 🤩😍
Have made 3 times now! So good. Made on Christmas morning and now family wants for New Year’s Eve.
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
These were a huge hit with the family. We used brown rice and wild Pacific salmon which worked out well as healthy options.
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

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 ?
yummy for my tummy
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!
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!
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!!
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!
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.
