Smoked Salmon Sushi Bowls
I made this Traeger Smoked Salmon to use in Smoked Salmon Dip and also this recipe for Smoked Salmon Sushi Bowls.
The inspiration for these bowls are new obsession with Sunday Morning sushi rolls.
The rolls have salmon, cream cheese, and avocado… and the whole roll is breaded and deep fried.
So I breaded and deep fried little nuggets of cream cheese for the sushi bowls.
A drizzle of spicy mayo and ginger soy glaze and you are instantly transported to your favorite sushi place, but in the comfort of your own home đŸ™‚
How to Make Smoked Salmon Sushi Bowls
You can buy smoked salmon from the store, or make your own Traeger Smoked Salmon (which I highly recommend).
And make your own Jasmine rice, or take a little shortcut with these microwavable Jasmine rice pouches.
Then really all that’s left to do is slicing an avocado and frying the cream cheese
I cut a block of cream cheese into 8 pieces, formed each into a little ball, and flattened each out slightly.
Then froze them for a few hours to prevent them from falling apart while frying.
Crack and egg in one bowl and beat with a fork.
Then put a cup of panko bread crumbs in another bowl.
Put enough vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes.
Once the oil reaches 350 degrees, dip a few of the frozen cream cheese bites into the egg and then coat with the panko bread crumbs.
Place them in the oil for a minute or two, flipping halfway through.
Remove them, place on paper towels, and repeat with the rest of the cream cheese bites.
Then you can assemble the Smoked Salmon Sushi Bowls đŸ™‚
Place some rice in each bowl first.
Then top with the flaked smoked salmon, sliced avocado, and two of the fried cream cheese bites.
And add all the saucy yumminess and extra toppings such as spicy mayo, ginger soy glaze, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
I also set out soy sauce, sriracha, and yum yum sauce for anyone who wanted a little extra sauciness.
We pretty much just mixed these together and each bite was a little unique.
Some bites had crunch from the panko, and some a little more creaminess from the cream cheese… all bites were phenomenal!
