Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash hands and clean the prep area.
- Remove skin from salmon and cut into cubed bitesize pieces. Place salmon in a large bowl adding olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and zest. Mix well.

- Using a measuring spoon, place 2 Tablespoons of rice in the middle of a nori square.
- Gently push down rice and nori sheet into an individual cup of a nonstick muffin pan. (tip: Use a little olive oil on your fingers to evenly press down sticky rice. The edges for the nori sheet will stand up along the edge.)
- Evenly distribute the salmon mixture into the 12 muffin pan cups.
- Insert the pan into the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool slightly.
- Top with avocado, cucumber, jalapenos, and spicy sauce.
