Ingredients for Salmon Poke Bites

Method

Instructions for Salmon Poke Bites

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the cooked rice and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Make Wasabi Avocado Mash

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with wasabi paste until smooth. Season with salt to taste and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare Salmon Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the diced salmon, yuzu kosho, and soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Form Rice Bites

    Once the sushi rice has cooled, wet your hands and form small bite-sized squares or rounds with the rice.

  5. 5

    Fry Rice Bites

    In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the rice bites in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Assemble Poke Bites

    On each nori square, place a fried rice bite. Top with a spoonful of the salmon mixture, followed by a dollop of the wasabi avocado mash and a sprinkle of tobiko.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Salmon Poke Bites!
