For Assembly:

Instructions:
Prepare the Spicy Salmon:
- In a bowl, combine the sesame oil, coconut aminos, tamari, honey, sweet chili sauce, and diced scallions. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the cubed salmon to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for about 30 minutes – 4 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Cook the Sushi Rice:
- Follow the package instructions to prepare sushi rice. Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature or slightly warm.
Assemble the Sushi Muffins:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Lay out the nori sheets and cut each into 4 equal squares.
- To each nori square, add about 1 heaping tablespoon of rice and spread it out slightly.
- Transfer the nori square to a muffin slot, pushing down gently to center the rice in the middle with the edges coming up along the sides of the slot.
- Add 3-4 pieces of marinated spicy salmon cubes to each muffin slot.
Bake the Sushi Muffins:
- Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit,Â
- If desired, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end to achieve a slightly caramelized appearance on the salmon.
The good part:
- Carefully remove the sushi muffins from the muffin slots using a fork or small spatula.
- Drizzle a generous amount of spicy mayo over the salmon.
- Sprinkle furikake seasoning or toasted sesame seeds over the top for added flavor.
- Serve your homemade Spicy Salmon Sushi Muffins hot and enjoy!
