Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  4. While the rice cooks, prepare the salmon by seasoning it with olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Place it in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and allow it to cool slightly.
  6. In a bowl, combine the cooked salmon, green onions, and cilantro, mixing gently.
  7. To assemble, take small portions of rice and press them into a muffin tin, creating a cup shape.
  8. Fill each rice cup with the salmon mixture and top with avocado slices.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy your sushi cups!

Notes

  • For a spicier twist, add some sriracha to the salmon mixture.
  • Feel free to substitute the salmon with tofu for a vegetarian version.
