If you love salmon and can take the rare sashimi, try this spicy salmon sushi roll in a special version with vibrant wasabi green tobiko and red masago wrap around. The flavor is also kicked up a knot too, with a mix of crunch, crisp, creamy, and mild touch of heat.
The procedure is fairly simple, you roll a spicy salmon roll like usual, but turn it into uramaki style. After that, carefully dab on the roes using the back of a spoon. Though green and red look great contrastingly, you can change or adapt to your favorite roes.
If you’re wondering what spicy salmon roll is, it’s minced salmon mix with (often) sriracha, tabasco, or any chili hot sauce. The same for any other spicy fish sushi roll like spicy tuna, spicy hamachi, etc. Typically, the minced fish will be marinated with ponzu and a little bit of chopped scallion to add some flavor.
These roll should be served immediately to prevent dryness and dullness of the fish. It’s always a good idea to add wasabi and pickled ginger to any raw sushi roll to help clean the palate. On the other hand, since this roll is already had wasabi roes embedded in it, you can skip those regular sides.
