Sushi Cups
Sushi Cups are filled with salmon and rice and baked until golden. Then, they are topped with your favorite toppings. Each cup has 12 grams of protein!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds salmon
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- ½ tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 ¾ cup cooked jasmine rice or sushi rice
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 3 nori sheets - Cut into fourths.
- 1 spray avocado oil spray
Optional Toppings:
- 3 tablespoons sliced scallions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- ½ cup spicy mayo - I made my own with mayo, sriracha and a little sesame oil.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Pat salmon dry. Cut skin off of the salmon and cut it into cubes. Add salmon cubes to a bowl with tamari, mayo, sesame oil, sriracha, garlic powder, ginger powder and salt. Combine gently without breaking the salmon.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked rice with rice vinegar. Then, cut nori sheets into 4 pieces each. You need a total of 12. Add about 1 ½ tablespoons of rice to each sheet and spread it around with a back of a spoon ensuring not to rip the nori sheet.
- Spray a muffin tin. Place each nori sheet with rice on it into each muffin cavity. Then, add 4-5 pieces of salmon on top. Bake for about 8-10 minutes. After the 8-10 minutes, move the muffin tin to the top rack of oven and broil on high for 2-5 minutes, or until the salmon is golden.
- Let them sit in the muffin pan for 5 minutes and then remove. Add toppings and enjoy! I used spicy mayo, scallions and sesame seeds for this batch.
