Sushi Sandwich
By: Picholine
Mar 12, 2004
Convenient way to satisfy a sushi craving. I invented this delectable open-faced "sandwich" while trying to use up leftover ingredients in a creative way. I made this with canned salmon (reminiscent of a Philadelphia roll) but I'm assuming tuna will work well also.
SERVES 2
Ingredients
- 1 (6 ounce) can salmon or tuna (albacore)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons wasabi powder
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seed
- 4 rice cakes
- pickled ginger (optional)
Directions
1
Flake salmon or tuna with lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl.2
Add cream cheese and stir (a fork or spreading knife works best) until the mixture becomes paste-like.3
Stir in wasabi powder and soy sauce (measurements are estimates so if you're concerned about it being too hot or salty, begin with smaller amounts and then adjust seasonings according to taste).4
Stir until well combined.5
Spread a generous heaping of mixture on each rice cake.6
Slice avocados on top.7
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.8
Drizzle with rice vinegar and a touch of extra soy sauce.9
If you have it, a little pickled ginger with each bite gives the total sushi effect!

If you invented this OUTSTANDING recipe, you should definitely get your own cooking show and write a cookbook too! This is better than lots of sushi I've had, because of the "crunch" from the rice cake - ironically, since I don't really like rice cakes. They're so good in this application. I used neufchatel cheese to cut down on fat, and chilled the salmon mixture for a few hours. I couldn't taste the wasabi so next time will make wasabi paste and spread it across the rice cake before the salmon mixture. This unbelievably does satisfy a sushi craving!

What a neat idea! I don't like canned salmon, but leftover salmon works great here, too. I also like more sesame seeds (more like 4 times as much for me), wasabi paste instead of powder, and pickled ginger is a must for me (again, personal preference). This is a nice lunch. Thank you!
