Instructions
- Put 2 cups of rice into the container. Then, pour 6 cups of water and wash the rice.
- Drain the rice. Repeat steps 1-2 for 3 times.
- After that, put the washed rice from step 2 into the instant pot.
- Next, pour 2 cups of water into the instant pot and level off the rice. Cover the lid and close the vent, adjust time 6 minutes at high pressure and natural release pressure.
- If your salmon filet has skin, peel it off. Wash it and dry with a paper towel.
- Then, dice 1.5 pounds of salmon filet.
- After, put the diced salmon from step 6 into the container and add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon of white pepper, ¼ teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley.
- Mix the ingredient well and let it marinate for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Meanwhile, cut 5 nori seaweed sheets into small squares. Each nori sheet is cut into 4 small squares.
- Wash and cut a fresh large ripe avocado (8.5 oz) into half, then dice it.
- Next, put ½ cup of mayo into a container and 2 teaspoons of sriracha. Mix it well. (You can add more sriracha if you like spicy.)
- Put the spicy mayo into a ziplock bag and cut a small hole at the corner.
- When the rice is done, scoop 2 cups of cooked rice out. (You can use more rice.)
- Place the small square nori seaweed from step 9 on the muffin tin tray.
- Then, put 2 tablespoons of cooked rice on the seaweed and put it down into the muffin tin tray.
- Put 2 tablespoons of marinated salmon or 3-4 pieces of diced salmon on the rice.
- Preheat the oven to 400F, bake them at 400F for 13-15 minutes. (If you like eating it raw, remember to use sushi grade salmon and you can skip the baking part. (Disclaimer: consuming raw fish is your own risk.)
- After baking, take it out, add 2-3 diced avocado from step 10.
- Lastly, piping or drizzling some spicy mayo from step 12 on the top.
Notes
- If you are planning to make raw salmon sushi cups, please use sushi grade salmon from a specialized seafood store. (Disclaimer: consuming raw fish is your own risk.)
- It is ok to use supermarket salmon like Costco one if you are planning to make baked salmon sushi cups.
- Some supermarket salmon filet has skin on. Therefore, you need to remove the skin. But, Costco salmon filets do not have skin on. If you don’t want to remove the skin, buy salmon filet at Costco.
- Dice the salmon filet and marinate it with garlic powder, white pepper, salt, sesame oil and dried parsley for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
- You can use fresh cooked rice or leftover rice.
- Cut 5 nori seaweed sheets into small squares. Each sheet is cut into 4 small squares. I did 5 nori sheets, this can make around 20 cups.
- For the spicy mayo sauce, you can add more sriracha or less according to your spicy level.
- Bake the salmon sushi cups at 400F for 13-15 minutes. Then, top with diced avocado and drizzle with spicy mayo or furikake (Japanese rice seasoning).
