Preparation

Assembly

  2. Spread a layer of sushi rice on each nori half, leaving some space at the edges.
  3. Add a line of the salmon mixture and a few slices of avocado on top of the rice.
  4. Roll the nori tightly around the filling and slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
  1. Bake the sushi bites in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until crispy.
  2. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

These bites are best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for about 2 days or frozen tightly for best quality. Reheat in the oven for 5 minutes before serving for restored crunch.
