Method

  1. 1

    Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. While the rice is cooking, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl; stir until dissolved.

  2. 2

    When the rice is done, gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice, then spread the seasoned rice onto a large plate to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Cut the nori sheets into twelve large squares. Spoon a portion of the cooled rice onto each square, pressing the rice into the wells of a muffin tin to form a base.

  4. 4

    Dice the salmon and toss it with soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. Distribute the salmon mixture evenly over the rice in each muffin cup.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (392°F). Bake the assembled nori cups for 8–10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

  6. 6

    While the muffins are baking, dice the avocado. Once baked, top each muffin with diced avocado, a drizzle of sriracha mayo, and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
