Spicy salmon California roll recipe
A Spicy Salmon California Roll is a type of sushi roll that features a combination of ingredients including fresh salmon, avocado, cucumber, and often imitation crab or real crab meat. What sets this roll apart is the addition of spicy mayo, which adds a delightful kick of heat and flavor. The roll is typically wrapped in a sheet of nori (seaweed) and then rolled in sushi rice, before being sliced into bite-sized pieces. It's a popular and modern twist on the classic California roll, infusing it with the vibrant flavors of spicy mayo and salmon to create a satisfying and flavorful sushi experience.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt
- 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
- 8 ounces fresh salmon, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- Imitation crab or real crab meat (optional)
- Spicy mayo (mix mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce to taste)
- Soy sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap to prevent sticking.
- Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the rolling mat.
- Wet your hands to prevent rice from sticking, and take a handful of sushi rice. Spread the rice evenly over the nori, leaving about half an inch of nori uncovered at the top.
- Flip the nori and rice over so that the rice side is facing down on the rolling mat.
- Place a few slices of salmon, avocado, cucumber, and crab (if using) in a line across the nori.
- Drizzle some spicy mayo over the ingredients.
- Carefully lift the bamboo mat's edge and start rolling the nori and ingredients away from you, using your fingers to hold the fillings in place.
- Press gently but firmly to shape the roll.
- Once the roll is complete, use a sharp knife to slice it into bite-sized pieces. Dip the knife in water between cuts to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the sliced rolls on a plate and serve with soy sauce for dipping.Enjoy your homemade Spicy Salmon California Rolls!Feel free to customize the ingredients and quantities according to your taste preferences.

Notes
One important thing to note when making a Spicy Salmon California Roll is to ensure that the raw fish, in this case, the fresh salmon, is of high-quality and safe for consumption. It's crucial to purchase sushi-grade salmon from a reputable source to minimize the risk of foodborne illnesses. Additionally, when handling raw fish and preparing the ingredients, make sure to maintain proper hygiene and cleanliness in your workspace to avoid cross-contamination. Properly washing your hands and any utensils or surfaces that come into contact with raw ingredients will help ensure the safety and deliciousness of your homemade rolls.
