Description
Baked Salmon Sushi Cups are a delicious and keto-friendly snack that combines the flavors of sushi with the convenience of a baked dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds salmon, skin removed and cubed
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups cauliflower rice (as a substitute for sushi rice)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 12 nori squares
- For the Garnishes:
- 1 squeeze mayonnaise (Kewpie or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a standard size muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed salmon, sea salt, soy sauce, and mayonnaise. Toss to coat well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cauliflower rice with the rice vinegar until the rice is evenly coated.
- Lay out the nori sheets on a countertop. If using large nori sheets, cut them into squares small enough to fit into each cavity of your muffin tin.
- Add about 2-3 tablespoons of the cauliflower rice mixture to each nori sheet, then fold and place inside the muffin tin. Repeat until all cavities are filled.
- Top each nori cup with about 2 tablespoons of the salmon mixture.
- Bake the cups for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
- Once done, remove from the oven and top with your garnishes of choice. Serve and enjoy! These cups are best eaten the same day but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped avocado or cucumber into the salmon mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a drizzle of sriracha or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top before serving.
