Description

Easy, delicious, and full of flavor, these Spicy Salmon Sushi Roll-Ups use canned salmon, avocado, and sushi rice for a quick sushi-style meal at home—no raw fish needed!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (6-ounce) can of wild-caught salmon, drained and flaked

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (or to taste)

  • 1½ cups cooked sushi rice

  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

  • 2 sheets nori (seaweed sheets)

  • ½ avocado, sliced

  • ¼ cucumber, julienned

  • Optional toppings: pickled ginger, sesame seeds, tamari (or soy sauce), lime wedges


Instructions

  1. Mix the salmon, mayonnaise, and sriracha in a bowl.

  2. Stir rice vinegar into warm sushi rice.

  3. Lay nori on a mat or parchment.

  4. Spread rice, leaving a 1-inch top border.

  5. Add salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the rice.

  6. Roll tightly from the bottom and seal with water.

  7. Slice and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Wet your hands to prevent rice from sticking.

  • Use tamari for a gluten-free option.

  • Customize with additional veggies like carrots or bell peppers.

  • Best served fresh, but components can be prepped ahead.
