- Cook the sushi rice ahead of time following package instructions.
- Marinate the salmon fillet with 2 tablespoons of Takumi and set it aside for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes.
- In a bowl, mash the salmon and add 1 tablespoon of Takumi. Mix well.
- Assemble the onigiris by using a plastic wrap. Scoop rice in the center, add ¼ of the salmon mixture on top of the rice, and put more rice on top to cover the salmon mixture.
- Gather the corners of the plastic wrap and twist it a few times to tighten around the rice. Form the rice into a triangle shape through the plastic wrap. Repeat until all onigiris are molded.
- Heat the pan with cooking oil and add the onigiris. Cook each side for at least 1 minute on each side. Baste each onigiri with Takumi for the golden finish.
- If using nori sheet, cut 4 strips and add it to each onigiri.
- Enjoy!
