Ice-Tray Sushi Blocks

These salmon ice-tray sushi blocks are a clever and approachable take on traditional Japanese flavours. By using a standard ice-cube tray as a mould, you can create perfectly uniform, bite-sized rice bases without the need for a bamboo rolling mat. The topping features fresh, sashimi-grade salmon tossed with crisp cucumber and zesty citrus juices, providing a bright and savoury contrast to the seasoned rice.

This high-protein dish is an excellent choice for a light lunch or an impressive appetiser when entertaining guests. Using shop-bought or takeaway sushi rice makes the assembly incredibly swift, ensuring a healthy and sophisticated meal is ready in no time. Serve these elegant cubes with a side of soy sauce and pickled ginger for the complete experience.

Ingredients for Ice-Tray Sushi Blocks

  • 200g sashimi-grade salmon, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

  • 3 spring onions, chopped

  • 1/4 cucumber, finely chopped (45ml )

  • About 5 grape tomatoes, finely chopped (45ml )

  • 2 teaspoons lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon orange juice

  • 40ml mayonnaise

How to make Ice-Tray Sushi Blocks

  1. Combine all the ingredients except the rice in a bowl.

  2. To make the sushi-rice blocks, use an ice-cube tray as a mold (small cups, mini-muffin tins, and tartlet pans will also work). Prepare the mold by sprinkling it lightly with water.

  3. Press the rice into the tray squares, then use your finger to push a hole 3/4 of the way into each square.

  4. Turn the mold upside down onto waxed paper, and tap until the squares fall out.

  5. Fill each hole with about a teaspoon of the salmon mixture and serve.
