Here’s a Quick Video Tutorial!
Perfect Presentation Platters
You can keep the Salmon Sushi Cups right in the muffin tins, or transfer to your favorite platters. Here are some that I use all the time!
White Platters: For a handy option you could use all year, this set of two white porcelain platters are my faves! If you’d prefer a marble look, this white marble pastry board from World Market is beautiful. For a less expensive option, this faux white marble tray from Walmart is also a great choice!
Wooden Serving Board: If you’re looking to add to a collection, Antique Hardware has this set of 3 that I get so much use out of. For a larger option, this large wooden platter from Target is so cute, especially the double handles. I also use this rectangular tray all the time. (Both at a great price!) If you’d prefer a round tray, I’d recommend this round wooden Target tray, which I get so much use out of year-round!
Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board that I used for this recipe, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.
Can I Prep These Salmon Sushi Cups Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can wash, cut, and prep the salmon in advance and store tightly in the refrigerator to marinate (I’d recommend not more than one day in advance.) You can also cook the rice a couple in advance and store in the refrigerator in a Tupperware container or Ziploc Bag.
Storing Leftovers
Keep any leftover Salmon Sushi cups in a Tupperware container and refrigerate, where they should stay fresh for 2-3 days. If you don’t have Tupperware, a large Ziploc bag is also a great option!
Enjoy!
I hope these Salmon Sushi Cups are an easy new staple in your recipe repertoire! For more easy and kid-friendly dishes, you may also love this Healthy Chicken Tenders recipe, Pull-Apart Pizza Muffins, or this Ultimate Ice Cream Sunday Bar. Have a great day, friends!
