Baked salmon bites at home!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Salmon cut into cubes
- 1 Cup Cooked Rice
- 1 tsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 3 Sheets Sushi Nori each sheet cut into 4 pieces
- 3 Green Onions sliced
- Rice Seasonings optional
Salmon Marinade
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Teriyaki Marinade
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ¼ tsp Paprika
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp White Pepper
- 1 tsp Chili Paste
Spicy Mayo
- ¼ Cup Mayo
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha or Chili Paste
- 1 tsp Honey
- ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
- 1-2 tsp Water (If Needed)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon cubes with the salmon marinade ingredients. Mix well to coat the salmon evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- While the salmon is marinating, prepare the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, mix in 1 teaspoon of rice wine vinegar to season the rice. Set it aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Take a 12-count muffin tin and for each muffin hole, lay one square of nori over it. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of cooked rice to the center of each nori square and press it down gently to form a bowl. The nori will crinkle a little. Do not panic! Top rice with 2 tablespoons of the marinated salmon mixture.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes until the salmon is cooked through (130 degrees internally)
- After cooking time, switch on the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown.
- Allow the salmon bites to cool for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove them from the muffin tin and arrange them on a serving plate.
- Drizzle the spicy mayo over the salmon bites. You can also sprinkle with rice seasoning if desired and garnish with sliced green onions.
