Ingredients
- 4 ounces kelp noodles
- 1 tablespoon dry wakame seaweed
- 1 tablespoon avocado mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce, unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, divided
- 4 ounces sushi-grade salmon, skinless
- 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced into thin rounds
- ¼ large avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium tamari
- Pickled ginger, unsweetened (optional)
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, add the kelp noodles along with enough room temperature filtered water to cover the noodles. Repeat in a separate bowl with the seaweed and allow each to soak for at least 10 minutes while preparing the remaining components.
Step 2
Mix the avocado mayonnaise, hot sauce, sesame oil, and half of the sesame seeds into a large bowl. If you’d prefer to avoid totally raw salmon, sear each side for a couple minutes over medium-high heat before continuing to the next step (this is not included in my photos as I used raw salmon).
Step 3
Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces and stir together with the spicy mayonnaise. Set aside.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, drain the liquids from the kelp and seaweed. Transfer both into a bowl along with the tamari and cucumber slices and stir well to combine.
Step 5
To serve, add the spicy salmon on top of the noodles and seaweed. Garnish with the avocado slices and remaining sesame seeds as well as the pickled ginger, if using.
