Ingredients
- ½ lb baked salmon cooled and mashed

Instructions
- Start by mashing the baked and cooled salmon in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, sriracha, tamari (or soy sauce), sesame oil, and cracked pepper. Mix well and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Lay out a large seaweed nori sheet and add 3 heaping tablespoons of the salmon mixture.
- Top with your favorite veggies and toppings, like sliced cucumbers, jalapeños, carrots, avocado, or furikake.
- Roll up the seaweed sheet as tightly as possible. Cut the roll in half.
- For the sauce, mix mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, and soy or tamari sauce. Add lime juice if desired, and adjust to taste.
- Serve the salmon rolls as is or with the spicy sauce for dipping.
Notes
These rolls are best enjoyed immediately after preparation to avoid the nori becoming soggy. Feel free to get creative with the fillings and sauce variations. You can make the salmon mixture in advance and store it in the fridge for a quick, healthy protein option.
