Crispy nori shells filled with seasoned sushi rice, fresh salmon, creamy avocado, and crunchy vegetables. These sushi tacos are a playful fusion dish that combines bold flavors and vibrant textures in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice, slightly cooled
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 6 nori sheets
  • 1 cup diced fresh sushi grade salmon
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber cut into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F if lightly crisping the nori sheets. This step is optional but helps create a firmer shell.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked sushi rice until evenly seasoned.
  3. Place nori sheets over the oven rack for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly crisp and shape into taco form. Remove carefully.
  4. Spoon seasoned sushi rice into each nori shell, spreading evenly.
  5. Add diced salmon, sliced avocado, shredded carrots, and cucumber strips on top of the rice.
  6. Sprinkle sesame seeds and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt over the fillings.
  7. Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Use sushi grade salmon for best quality and safety.
  • Do not overfill the tacos to prevent cracking.
  • Assemble just before serving to keep the nori crisp.
  • Store components separately if preparing ahead.
