Whether you’re hosting a party or just want a fun new way to eat salmon, these nori salmon sushi cups are perfect! There’s a reason they’re so popular on TikTok right now.
What Are Nori Salmon Sushi Cups?
Think about all your favorite things about sushi. Then, instead of the salmon rolled in rice and wrapped in seaweed, place the seaweed at the bottom like a cup.
Nori is another name for sushi – it’s the green stuff usually wrapped around the outside (or the inside). Nori salmon sushi cups are a mess-free, high-fat, and low-carb alternative to sushi rolls.
Salmon is full of healthy fats and Nori is full of nutrients and super low in carbs. All in all, there are just 2 grams net carbs in each salmon nori cup!
You can enjoy them as a filling lunch or serve them at a party, knowing you’ll be able to eat them too.
Shopping List
All of the exact amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. First, here is what you’ll need from the store before you begin cooking.
- Nori seaweed sheets
- Rice Vinegar
- Cauliflower Rice
- Soy Sauce
- Mayonnaise
- Sesame Seeds
- Salmon
- Sriracha Sauce
- Sugar-Free Honey
- Minced Garlic
Ingredient Substitutions
This is a very easy recipe to change and make your own. Here are a few of the easiest ingredient swaps you can make.
- Vegetarian – replace the salmon with diced cucumber and shredded carrots
- Cauliflower rice – replace it with either riced broccoli or make your own riced cabbage
- Soy Sauce – there are traces of gluten in soy sauce, so you might want to use coconut aminos instead
Best Seaweed Sheets
If this is your first time buying Nori seaweed sheets, always read the reviews. They will give you an idea about their quality.
You can easily find the brand Kaneyama at Walmart and it’s a Japanese company with high ratings. Nagai makes wonderfully tasting and low-priced Nori that you can buy on Amazon.
What To Eat With Sushi
This is a classic combination of flavors, so serve it with other familiar recipes that you love too.
A bowl of egg drop soup is the best thing to serve with it. If you want to stick with the Chinese food theme, you can’t go wrong with keto crab rangoon casserole. It’s a high-fat side dish that tastes just like the insides of a crab rangoon (without the deep-fried parts).
Even though I added cauliflower rice to the inside of the Nori cups, you can also serve some low-carb veggie egg fried rice with bacon on the side.
For some crunch, make some keto honey walnut shrimp. And stick with the finger-food them and add some keto scallion pancakes to the table.
Storage
These salmon nori cups taste best fresh. I don’t recommend trying to store leftovers in the refrigerator. The salmon will soften the Nori, and it won’t have the same crunch.
Keep leftover salmon sushi cups in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator for no more than a day.
