Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice cooled
  • 8 ounces fresh salmon sushi grade, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise divided
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 medium avocado sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
  • 2 tablespoons green onions sliced

Method
 

  1. Press cooled sushi rice firmly into a rectangular baking dish about 1 inch thick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up, then cut into 8-12 rectangular pieces.
  2. In a bowl, combine diced salmon with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon sriracha, and soy sauce. Mix gently and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry rice cakes for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon sriracha in a small bowl. Transfer to a squeeze bottle or small plastic bag for drizzling.
  5. Place crispy rice cakes on a serving platter. Top each with a spoonful of spicy salmon mixture and a slice of avocado.
  6. Drizzle spicy mayo over the top, then sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately while rice is still crispy.

Notes

For extra crispy rice, make sure the rice is completely cooled and dry before frying. You can prepare the rice cakes ahead and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before frying. Always use sushi-grade salmon from a trusted source when consuming raw fish.
