Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for topping)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into uniform cubes.
  2. Cook Sushi Rice: Rinse sushi rice under cold water until clear; cook according to package instructions until sticky.
  3. Make Teriyaki Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
  4. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the cooked rice into the teriyaki sauce until evenly coated.
  5. Shape Rice Cubes: With wet hands, mold portions of the rice mixture into cubes (about 2 inches wide) and place on a serving platter.
  6. Final Touch: Sprinkle sesame seeds over each cube and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Nutrition

Keywords: For added flavor, marinate the salmon in teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to substitute salmon with chicken or tofu and add veggies like bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch. Leftover rice cubes can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
