Yuzu Salmon Onigiri - Gluten-Free Friendly

On the go, we go together. Me and my yuzu salmon onigiri.

This is my type of Sunday or even Monday meal prep. I'll grab a bag of frozen salmon from Trader Joe's or Costco and prep the filling for the onigiri over the weekend and treat it as a quick on-the-go meal throughout the week.

To line up with the width of my onigiri mold, I cut 3 strips from 1 sheet of nori for each onigiri.

To make the rice, mix these together evenly with sugar and salt dissolved into the rice:

  • 6 cups fluffy japanese rice
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 4 tsp sugar
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt

To make the yuzu salmon filling, broil the salmon for 4 minutes:

  • 4 oz salmon, cut into 1/2" thick long slices
  • 1 pinch of garlic powder (opt)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Light drizzle of olive oil

Break the salmon and mix with the yuzu mayo mixture:

  • 1 tbsp kewpie mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp yuzu kosho (opt)
  • 2 tsp yuzu juice
  • ¾ tsp sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp soy sauce

I use an onigiri mold to press the onigiri together. You can also form it by hand lightly dressed in a salt and water mixture to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands. Fold the onigiri into a nori strip. On the go, I'd keep the nori separate in a Ziploc bag because I like it crispy.

Voila!

You could also optionally roll the sides in furikaki mixture as well for aesthetics- I like to do this for guests.
