2teaspoonfine sea salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayo and wasabi. Add the salmon and gently mix to coat evenly. Set aside.
To assemble the burrito: On a sushi mat, join two square sheets of nori together, to form 1 longer rectangle – wet a 1″ strip of one edge with water and overlap the other nori sheet, to help them stick together. The rough sides should be facing up.
Add 1 cup of the prepared rice to the nori sheet and use your fingers to spread it out into an even layer, onto half of the rectangular nori sheet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, if using.
Layer spicy salmon, carrots, cucumbers, avocado, baby spinach, microgreens, and cabbage over the rice.
Gently lift the side of the nori and carefully fold it over the fillings, using your fingers to roll it away from yourself as you would while making a burrito.
Place seam side down. Using a very sharp knife, cut each burrito in half. Repeat the whole process to create another burrito. (If you'd like to make this a fun hand-held entree that packs well, roll the burrito tightly in some parchment paper, and then twist the ends. Then cut in half.)
Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping. I also like to offer pickled ginger. If you'd like some creamy wasabi sauce, combine 4-5 tablespoons of Japanese mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon of wasabi, add a pinch of salt, and mix well.
How to Make Sushi Rice
In large bowl, spread out the cooked, warm rice.
In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Drizzle the vinegar mixture over the still-warm rice and quickly fold the rice with a wooden spatula. Be careful to not smash the rice. Rather, use more of a cutting motion.
