This recipe came about because I was CRAVING sushi and my
husband is always down for sushi. Truly, if I want to go out I just say I want
sushi and it is a done deal. I already had salmon defrosted so there was no
going out for sushi that night, but I decided to vaguely try to recreate one of
our favorite rolls. This is basically a teriyaki glaze salmon that I just made
a spicy mayo drizzle for. The same drizzle they put on many sushi rolls. After
I served it I asked my husband what it reminded him of and he told me our
favorite sushi roll, nailed it!
Sushi Roll Salmon – Serves 2
First you want to make the spicy mayo, it’s super easy, take
about a ¼ cup of mayo and add sriracha to taste. I personally add about 2
heaping tablespoons but I LOVE spicy. To be honest if you don’t like it spicy
this is still quite tasty without the spicy mayo!
If you are really in a pinch and need to get dinner out
quick you could use pre-made teriyaki but it’s so fast to make this teriyaki
and it is SO worth it!
Teriyaki glaze
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons honey
½ tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon sesame seeds
Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder
and honey in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to
simmer add the cornstarch and stir until it begins to thicken.
Pour the glaze over your salmon fillets in a baking
dish. Make sure to lift the salmon up too to make sure it is fully coated underneath as well. Add a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Cook for 15 minutes at 425.
Once the salmon comes out of the oven simply drizzle with
the spicy mayo. Quick tip: put the spicy mayo in a plastic zip lock baggie and
cut the corner off so you can drizzle it neatly.
enjoy!
