Starting with a can of our wild sockeye salmon and cooked, seasoned sushi rice, our onigiri come together in less than 30 minutes and require only a few basic ingredients.

Servings: 4

Prep Time: ~30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 can Sockeye Salmon
• 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon rice wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha, optional
• 2 cups freshly cooked short-grain or sushi rice
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp Kombu mini flakes
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Directions

1. Cook the rice in a rice cooker as per the packet instructions. Once cooked, sprinkle with salt and stir to distribute.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the canned salmon, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sriracha. Set aside.
3. Line your onigiri mould with saran wrap, then add enough rice to cover the bottom of the mould. Add about 1 ½ tablespoons of salmon filling in the center, then more rice on top to cover the filling. Ensure your rice and filling are packed in.
4. Place the top of the mould on top, then gently and firmly press to tightly pack the rice. Remove the top and carefully peel away the seran wrap.
5. Wrap a small rectangle of parchment paper around the base of the mould to help hold it.
6. On a small plate, combine your Kombu flakes and sesame seeds. Roll each side of the onigiri in the mix, then set aside.
7. Repeat with the remaining filling and rice. Enjoy!

Notes

• This recipe works well with any of our canned fish!
• Don't own an onigiri mould? Don't worry! Lay the seran wrap over the palm of your hand, and use your hands to gently press the rice into shape. They may not look as perfect, but they'll still taste delicious!
