Crispy Rice Spicy Salmon

Ingredients

Crispy Rice Cakes:

  • 2½ cups cooked sushi rice (start with 1 ¼ cup dry)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Oil, for frying

Spicy Salmon:

  • 8 ounces sushi-grade salmon (or ahi tuna)
  • 2 tablespoons EACH: mayonnaise AND sliced scallions
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1-2 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon EACH: toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, AND wasabi paste
  • 1 large avocados, mashed in a bowl
  • sliced jalapeños + sushi ginger + toasted sesame seeds , for serving

Instructions

    1. RICE: Add the cooked rice to a glass bowl. Combine the salt, rice vinegar, and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl and zap until hot. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Pour the rice vinegar over the rice and combine it with a rice paddle until absorbed. Line a 9×5 baking pan with plastic wrap. Add the rice to the baking dish and spray a rice paddle with cooking spray. Press the rice paddle down on the rice to create an even layer. Cover and allow the rice to cool for at least one hour in the fridge or ideally, overnight.
    2. SALMON: Chop the salmon on a cutting board with a sharp knife into small pieces. Add it to a medium bowl along with mayonnaise, lime juice, 1 tablespoon sriracha, toasted sesame oil, and scallions. Taste and adjust with additional sriracha if desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
    3. FRY RICE: Cut the rice into 15 equal pieces. Wet the knife to help with cuts. Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan. Add as many rectangles that fit in the frying pan without overcrowding and fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden. Remove rice to a plate lined with a paper towel.
    4. ASSEMBLE: In a bowl, mash together the avocado, wasabi paste, and a pinch of salt. Add a dollop of mashed avocado to each rice cake. Top with a heaping tablespoon of salmon. Lay on a sliced jalapeño or sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with sushi gingerHow many pounds have you lost this month?
