Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a muffin pan.
Whisk the spices together in a bowl. Add the salmon, soy sauce and olive oil and toss to coat. Marinate in the fridge while you prepare the rest.
Mix sriracha and mayo together in a small bowl.
Using scissors, cut the nori sheets into four equal squares to make 12 small sheets.
Add 2 tablespoons of rice to each square of nori and add it to the muffin pan. Repeat for all the nori.
Take the salmon out of the fridge and spoon evenly over top. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked and golden brown* Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a little char (if desired).
Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Use a butter knife to help wedge out. Drizzle with spicy mayo and top with diced avocado, green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

*Baking time needed will depend on the size of your salmon pieces.
Store these sushi cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I enjoy these cold straight from the fridge but you can also reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer warm.
