Learn how to make a popular Japanese rice ball, Salmon onigiri! With only four ingredients (including rice), you can have them ready in under ten minutes! They're perfect for a quick lunch or a portable snack!
Preparation: Grill a salmon fillet until it's cooked through. Once cooled, break the salmon into flakes. Cut the nori sheet into three equal pieces. Prepare the cooked rice, a bowl of water, and salt.
Assemble: Place some rice in a small bowl, make a small dent in the center, and add the salmon flakes. Cover with more rice.
Shape the Onigiri: Wet your hands with water, sprinkle salt (using two fingertips) on your palms, and rub together. Place the rice in your hand and gently press with both palms to form a triangle, rolling it a few times to shape.
Wrap: Wrap the rice ball with a piece of nori.
