Baked Sushi Cups

An interesting and very successful way to make sushi at home. Instead of traditional rolls, you get small baked nori cups filled with rice and toppings. It’s quick, simple, and incredibly delicious, with a warm texture and all the classic sushi flavours in one bite 

Ingredients

• 3 sheets nori (seaweed for sushi)

• 1 cup cooked sticky rice

• 300–400 g fresh salmon fillet

• 1 avocado

• spicy mayonnaise

• sesame seeds (optional)

Marinade for salmon

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp honey

Steps

1. Cut the salmon into cubes, add sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey, mix well, and let marinate for 5–10 minutes

2. Cut each nori sheet into 4 squares

3. Add 1 tsp cooked rice to each square and place into a muffin tin, forming small cups

4. Top with a few pieces of marinated salmon

5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes

6. Top the baked cups with avocado, drizzle with spicy mayonnaise, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired
