Spicy Salmon on Crispy Rice

This is one of my favorite dishes to get at a sushi restaurant that is pretty easy to make at home! The crunch from the rice perfectly complements the smooth texture of the spicy salmon. The video of this recipe actually went viral on my TikTok @bostonfoodgram!

Ingredients

• 1 cup of sushi rice (dry)

• 1/4 lb of sushi-grade salmon

• 1 tbsp spicy mayo

• 1 jalapeño

• soy sauce

Instructions

1. Cook the sushi rice according to the directions on the rice bag

2. Press the cooked sushi rice into a rectangular tray

3. Refrigerate the sushi rice until cooled (this helps keep the rice together in when pan-frying it)

4. Turn the stove on high and heat olive oil in a non-stick frying pan

5. Cut the cooled sushi rice into rectangles

6. Fry the sushi rice on both sides until light brown and crispy

7. In a bowl, cut the sushi-grade salmon into small pieces

8. Mix spicy mayo into the salmon

9. Place spicy salmon on top of the fried sushi rice and top with a thin slice of jalapeño

Notes

Spicy Mayo - You can purchase spicy mayo or mix 1 cup regular mayo with 1 tbsp siracha

Sushi-Grade Salmon - I purchase mine from Mercato.com from North End Fish Market. Search their website for a sushi-grade fish seller near you!
