Cucumber Salmon Boats
Take all the best parts of sushi, remove the complicated rolling technique, add a bit of fresh crunch, and you have the formula for these incredible boats.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 100 grams smoked salmon about 1/4 pound
- 1 tablespoon spicy mayo store-bought or homemade
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 cup jasmine rice cooked
- everything but the bagel seasoning for garnish (optional)
- fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook rice as per the package directions. I like to cook 1/2 cup dry rice with a generous pinch of salt.
- Cut the smoked salmon into small pieces and mix it with the spicy mayo.
- Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out the center. (You can save the seeds and flesh of the cucumber to use in a dip or in a juice or smoothie.) Pat the inside of the cucumber with a paper towel.
- Fill both hollowed cucumber boats with cooked rice. Tip: wet your hand to help the rice from sticking to your hands.
- Add the smoked salmon mixture on top of the rice and garnish with everything but the bagel seasoning and fresh parsley or dill, if using. Enjoy!
