Health Benefits of Spicy Salmon Sushi Pizza

Spicy Salmon Sushi Pizza is a nutritional powerhouse. Packed with high-quality protein from fresh salmon, this meal supports muscle growth and satiety. It’s also rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation. The addition of avocado further boosts healthy fats and fiber content, ideal for anyone pursuing nutritious eating and overall wellness.

Ingredients for Spicy Salmon Sushi Pizza

Base:

2 (6-inch) tortillas, gluten-free or whole wheat (I prefer Siete cassava flour tortillas)

Toppings:

2 ounces avocado (from ½ small Haas avocado)
Kosher salt (pinch)
8 ounces sushi-grade salmon or sashimi-grade, finely minced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons sliced scallions, divided
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
1 teaspoon black and white sesame seeds
1 thinly sliced jalapeño

Alternative ingredient ideas: Use cucumber slices if jalapeños are too spicy or Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter sauce.

Step-by-Step Preparation of Spicy Salmon Sushi Pizza

Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine minced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, half of the scallions, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Mash Avocado: In a separate bowl, mash the avocado with a pinch of kosher salt.
Cook the Tortillas: Air-fry tortillas at 400°F for 1 to 1½ minutes per side until crisp. If baking, preheat your oven to 425°F and cook tortillas for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Assemble Pizza: Spread half of the mashed avocado on each crispy tortilla. Evenly distribute the salmon mixture over the avocado.
Add Final Touches: Garnish pizzas with sliced jalapeño, remaining scallions, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Drizzle additional soy sauce or sriracha sauce, if desired.

Nora’s Tips for Perfecting Salmon Sushi Pizza

Ingredient swaps: For a low-carb version, replace tortillas with seaweed sheets or cucumber slices.

Meal prep: Prepare the salmon mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for quick assembly.

Flavor enhancement: Use toasted sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Common mistakes: Avoid overcooking the tortilla base; it should be crispy but not burnt to maintain the perfect balance of crunch and softness.
