Jules Sebastian has made snack-time that little bit easier with a delicious sushi-inspired Spicy Salmon Cucumber Boat recipe.
Inspired by fellow food blogger Nadia Aidi, the public figure shared the fresh and healthy recipe with the caption, “Spicy Salmon Cucumber boats 🤤 The most delicious (healthy-ish) snack. I cheated and bought the sushi rice already cooked because the shop was right next door to the fish monger. Definitely try these.”
Flavoursome, crunchy, fresh, and rich in protein! You just can’t go wrong with this snack.
If you’re keen to try it out for yourself, we’ve broken it down into easy steps.

Ingredients:
Salmon boats:
- Lebanese cucumbers (halved and seeds scooped out)
- 225 grams of sushi-grade salmon
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tsp tamari
- 1/4 cup Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 pinch of coriander
- 1 pinch of sesame seeds
Sauce:
- 2 tsp tamari
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 spring onions
- lemon juice
Method:
1. Chop your salmon into small cubes. Add to a bowl with the chives, sesame oil, tamari, sriracha and Japanese mayonnaise.

4. Rub some sesame oil on your hands so the rice doesn’t stick on your hands. Grabbing your rice mix in small handfuls, mould together and place it into the cucumber halves.
5. Add the salmon mixture on top of the rice and top with sesame seeds and coriander.
6. Mix the spring onions, rice vinegar, lemon and tamari into a small sauce dish to serve.
