Servings: 10 rolls
Cook Time: 30 mins.
Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) sockeye salmon fillet
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 10 sheets nori
- 3 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 4 Persian cucumbers, cut into matchsticks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
- 1 orange bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
- 2 cups loosely packed microgreens (optional)
Green Sauce
- 1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and stems
- ½ large avocado
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
Directions
- Turn the oven on broil with a rack in the center position. Place the salmon on a large rimmed sheet, skin side down.
- In a small bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, garlic and ginger. Brush the marinade over the salmon. Broil until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small blender, combine the cilantro, avocado and sweet chili sauce. Blend until smooth, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if needed.
- Following the instructions on the nori package, layer each sheet with rice, sesame seeds, cucumbers, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and microgreens, dividing evenly.
- Flake the salmon with a fork and divide among the rolls. Roll each tightly to secure the ingredients.
- Serve the hand rolls with the green sauce alongside for dipping.
Note: Oven temperatures vary and the broiler is a super hot tool, so just keep a close eye while it cooks.
