This Salmon Crispy Rice recipe combines perfectly seasoned sushi rice fried until golden and crispy, topped with a creamy, spicy halal salmon mix, mashed avocado, and zesty garnishes for a delightful appetizer or snack that balances texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Rice Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice (cooled completely)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

Frying

  • Neutral oil, for frying (such as vegetable or canola oil)

Salmon Topping

  • 4 oz cooked halal salmon (or sushi-grade if available)
  • 1½ tbsp halal mayonnaise
  • 1½ tsp sriracha
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • Pinch of salt

Additional Toppings

  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • Thinly sliced jalapeño
  • Extra sriracha (optional drizzle)
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Mixture: In a bowl, gently mix the cooked and completely cooled sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until well combined. Use damp hands to shape the rice into small rectangular cakes about 2 inches long, ensuring they hold together well.
  2. Fry the Rice Cakes: Heat a generous amount of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the rice rectangles in the hot oil and fry each side for 2–3 minutes until they turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Salmon Mixture: In a bowl, flake the cooked halal salmon and mix it thoroughly with halal mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt until creamy and evenly blended.
  4. Assemble the Crispy Rice: Spread a layer of mashed avocado on top of each crispy rice cake. Then, spoon a generous amount of the spicy salmon mixture over the avocado layer.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Decorate each piece with thin slices of jalapeño, a light drizzle of extra sriracha if desired, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Use damp hands to shape the rice to prevent sticking.
  • You can substitute the halal salmon with sushi-grade salmon if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to suit your spice tolerance.
  • For a healthier version, consider pan-searing the rice cakes with minimal oil instead of deep frying.
  • Make sure the sushi rice is fully cooled before shaping to achieve the best texture.
