Description
Warm, creamy, and gently spicy, these Spicy Baked Salmon Sushi Muffins turn classic sushi flavors into cozy, oven-baked bites. Fluffy seasoned sushi rice forms the base, topped with a rich salmon mixture blended with mayonnaise and sriracha, then baked until tender and slightly golden.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups uncooked short grain sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed and diced small
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a standard 12 cup muffin tin.
- Rinse sushi rice thoroughly, then cook with 2 1/2 cups water according to package instructions.
- In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold gently into warm cooked rice.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of seasoned rice into each muffin cavity and press firmly to shape the base.
- In a mixing bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil until evenly coated.
- Spoon the salmon mixture evenly over each rice base.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and tops are slightly golden.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the hot muffins.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the tin and serve warm.
Notes
- Press the rice firmly so the muffins hold together after baking.
- Taste the salmon mixture before baking and adjust spice level if desired.
- Do not overbake, as salmon can dry out quickly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
