Salmon Crispy Rice

Crispy rice salmon is my viral favorite go-to appetizer dish for a balance between crispy and creamy. Pan-fried crispy sushi rice cakes topped with smashed avocado and spicy salmon, are so easy and delicious! Top the crispy rice off with a thin slice of jalapeño, a little dash of sriracha, and sesame seeds for spicy kicks!
