Air-fried Salmon Skin Handroll
Salmon skin is often discarded, but it's the most delicious and nutritious part of the fish. It's high in omega-3 fatty acids and protein.
Ingredients
- 1 piece salmon skin (from a 4oz salmon filet).
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- lemon pepper seasoning (or salt & pepper)
- 1 sheet nori sheet (cut into three pieces)
- 3-4 tbsp cooked white rice
- Furikake seasoning
- 1/4 cucumber thinly sliced
- 1/4 avocado thinly sliced
- Sriracha + kewpie mayo
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Brush the salmon skin with olive oil and season with lemon pepper.
- Air fry the salmon skin for 8-12 minutes or until crispy.
- While the salmon skin cooks, prepare the other ingredients.
- Combine rice and furikake seasoning, and set aside.
- Cut and slice the cucumber and avocado, and set aside.
- Combine kewpie mayo with sriracha for drizzling or dipping sauce, and set aside until ready to serve.
- Cut the nori sheet into three pieces.
- Spread a thin layer of rice on the left side of 1 nori sheet.
- Add the cucumber and avocado slices to the rice.
- Top with the crispy salmon skin.
- Roll up the sushi tightly into a cone shape. Use sriracha mayo to help seal the nori sheet close. Repeat until you've made all desired handrolls.
- Make about three mini hand rolls, and serve with the dipping sauce.
- Enjoy immediately!

Tips:
- Air-fryers are not created equal; I used a sear crisp function with my Ninja Kitchen Air-fryer (LINK HERE to learn more).
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can cook the salmon skin in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cook it until it is crispy on both sides.
- You do not have to make hand rolls; feel free to make them into a sushi roll.
- You can add other fillings to your sushi rolls, such as crab, shrimp, or cream cheese.
- Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
