Killer Crack Salmon Muffins

Killer Crack Salmon Muffins

Equipment

  • Silicone muffin pan, preferred – silicone trays, unlike metal muffin trays, tend to keep the muffins from getting soggy.

Ingredients
  

For the Glaze:

  • 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. Sriacha sauce
  • 1 tsp. ginger
  • 1 tsp. sesame seeds

For the Killer Crack Salmon:

  • 1-pound salmon, skin removed, cubed small
  • 2 tbs. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 2 scallions, diced

For Assembly:

  • 3 sheets nori paper
  • 1-½ cups sushi rice, fully cooled

Additional Toppings (optional):

  • Scallions, sliced
  • Carrots, shredded

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven 400℉.
  • Using a pair of scissors, cut the nori sheets into 4 equal squares.

To prepare the glaze:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the glaze; taste and adjust, if needed; set aside.

To prepare the salmon:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil, scallions and half of the glaze: stir to completly combine.
  • Add the cubed salmon; marinate for an hour or overnight.
  • Once marinated, to each nori square, add about 1 heaping tablespoon of rice and spread out slightly.
  • Transfer the square to the muffin tray, pushing down gently to center the rice in the middle with the edges coming up along the sides of the slot.
  • Add 4 to 5 salmon cubes to each muffin slot.
  • Transfer the pan to the pre-heated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Broil, if needed, at the end, to get a little tan on the salmon; 1 to 2 minutes; watch closely as broilers are very hot and the salmon muffins may burn.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle the remaining marinade over the tops of the muffins.
