Salmon Onigiri is a mouthwatering variation of the classic Japanese rice ball, filled with grilled or cooked salmon. To make this delectable recipe, you will need cooked Japanese short-grain rice, grilled or cooked salmon fillets, soy sauce, salt, and optional toppings like sesame seeds or nori seaweed. Start by flaking the grilled or cooked salmon into small pieces and season it with soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Take a small handful of rice and shape it into a triangle or oval shape. Make a small indentation in the center of the rice and add a spoonful of the seasoned salmon. Gently mold the rice around the filling, ensuring it is fully enclosed. Repeat the process with the remaining rice and filling. For added flavor and presentation, you can roll the finished onigiri in sesame seeds or wrap them in a sheet of nori seaweed. Salmon Onigiri is a delightful option for seafood lovers and a great way to enjoy the flavors of grilled or cooked salmon in a portable and convenient form.
