Salmon & Avocado Rice Ball

Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi Rice (cooked, slightly warm)
• 200 g Salmon Fillet (skinless, boneless)
• 1 piece Avocado (ripe, diced)
• 1 tsp Soy Sauce (low-sodium preferred)
• 1 tsp Mayonnaise (regular)
• 1 tbsp Black Sesame Seeds (toasted)
• 1 sheet Nori Sheet (cut into thin strips for garnish (optional))

Instructions

1. Cook the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice until water runs clear, then cook it in a rice cooker with the appropriate amount of water. Once done, keep the rice covered and slightly warm.

   Time: PT15M

2. Grill the Salmon

   Season the salmon fillet lightly with salt. Heat a grill pan over medium‑high heat, add a drizzle of oil, and grill the salmon 4‑5 minutes per side until cooked through and opaque.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

3. Shred and Season Salmon

   Transfer the grilled salmon to a cutting board, let it cool for a minute, then shred it with your hands into bite‑size flakes. Add 1 tsp mayonnaise and mix gently.

   Time: PT2M

4. Prepare Avocado Filling

   Dice the avocado into small cubes. Place in a small bowl, add 1 tsp soy sauce, and toss gently to coat.

   Time: PT2M

5. Set Up Shaping Station

   Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean surface. This will help you shape the rice balls without sticking.

   Time: PT1M

6. Layer the First Rice Base

   Scoop about one‑third of the warm rice onto the plastic wrap and spread it into a flat oval, leaving a small border around the edges.

   Time: PT2M

7. Add Avocado Center

   Place the seasoned avocado cubes in the center of the rice base, spreading them thinly without reaching the edges.

   Time: PT2M

8. Add Salmon Layer

   Spread the shredded salmon mixture over the avocado, again staying within the rice border.

   Time: PT2M

9. Seal and Shape the Rice Ball

   Cover the filling with the remaining rice, gently pressing to encase the center. Using the plastic wrap, roll and squeeze the ball until it holds together firmly.

   Time: PT3M

10. Finish with Sesame and Optional Nori

    Sprinkle toasted black sesame seeds over the top. If desired, wrap a thin strip of nori around the middle for extra flavor and visual appeal.

    Time: PT1M
