Ingredients

For the spicy salmon:

  • ¾ pound Atlantic salmon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or another neutral oil)
  • Kosher salt, as needed
  • Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sambal oelek
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions

For assembly:

  • 1 cup short-grain sushi rice
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 5 sheets soy paper, halved lengthwise (or nori)
  • 2 medium Persian cucumbers, julienned
  • 1 large avocado, peeled pitted and sliced
  • 1 ounce pea greens or daikon sprouts (optional)
  • Soy sauce, for serving

Instructions

For the spicy salmon:

  • Heat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Place salmon on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Rub with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until just cooked through, about 16 minutes. Remove and let cool to room temperature, discarding the skin. Chill the salmon for 15 minutes.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the salmon, mayonnaise, sambal and soy sauce. Use a fork to combine until the salmon is shredded and the mixture is combined. Stir in the green onion.
  • Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

For assembly:

  • Rinse the rice with cool water until the water runs clear. Drain and add the rice with 1 cup of water to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn the heat off and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the rice wine vinegar and fluff with a fork.
  • Place the sheets of soy paper on a clean, dry work surface. Working one at a time spread about 3 tablespoons of the rice onto the right edge of the sheet of soy paper. Wet your fingers and press the rice to spread it into an even square over the right half of the sheet.
  • Spread a spoonful of the salmon mixture over the rice and top with a few pieces of cucumber,  avocado and pea greens or daikon sprouts (optional).
  • Roll the bottom right corner and fold it to the center then continue rolling to the left until it forms a cone shape. Dip your finger in a little water and lightly wet the edge of the soy paper to seal the hand roll. Set aside and continue with the remaining soy paper and salmon mixture.
  • Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping.
