Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked sushi rice
- about 340 g Salmon fillet, skin removed
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- 2Cut the about 340 g salmon fillet into about 2.5 cm cubes.
- 3In a medium bowl, combine the salmon cubes with 1 tablespoon coconut aminos and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Let it marinate while you prepare the rice.
- 4Form the 2 cups cooked sushi rice into about 2.5 cm thick, flat squares or rectangles. Aim for about 12-16 pieces.
- 5Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 6Carefully place the rice squares into the hot oil. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them. Remove the crispy rice squares from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 7Arrange the crispy rice squares in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- 8Top each crispy rice square with a piece of the marinated salmon. Ensure the salmon is spread out evenly.
- 9Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 63°C.
- 10Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish the salmon bites with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions before serving.
