These Asian Salmon Cucumber Appetizers are quick and easy to make, and are perfect for summer entertaining.

Asian Salmon Cucumber Appetizers - these are so easy to make and perfect for entertaining - only 5 ingredients

I love little bites. In fact, I could make an entire meal out of appetizers. One of our family traditions whenever one of my boys comes home to visit from college is to make a special meal their first night at home.

I made these Asian Salmon Cucumber Appetizers to tide everyone over until dinnertime. These are super quick and easy to put together while you’re cooking dinner.

Just make sure you use sushi grade salmon – I always ask the fishmonger whether or not the salmon is sushi grade so they know I’ll be serving it raw.

These fresh salmon appetizers are low carb, healthy and naturally gluten-free. Add them to your party appetizer menu next time you’re entertaining.

    I adore sashimi (especially salmon & tuna). Your recipes look delicious, and I love the idea of using a cucumber as a base. Have you seen the new frozen sushi grade fish available in the freezer aisle of Whole Foods? It’s my new favorite. Pinning to make!

    I love how fresh and healthy these bites are. I’d probably eat a dozen while making these (and have no guilt either!). Pinned.

    Guilty to admit; I’ve never heard of, or seen, “Ichimi Togarashi”. Whole Foods, speciality store, where? Thanks!!
    Copper River Red is here locally now, I wonder if this is “fresh enough” or “sushi grade” enough to use for this? They charge an arm and a leg, so hopefully it would be? I might have to splurge this weekend and give this a whirl.
    (Reminds me of my roots growing up in Hawaii. I miss the daily fresh fish my brothers would bring home after a day of spear fishing in the bay. And of course, we ate a ton of it raw in every which way possible.)
    Thanks Jeanette!

      Suzi, I buy Ichimi Togarashi at my local Asian store, but I think Whole Foods might carry it. I always ask the fish market what is sushi grade to let them know I’m eating the fish raw. That’s the safest way to make sure the fish is fresh enough.

    You have the wrong chili powder name. Ichimi is the regular chili powder. “Shichimi” is what you wanted to say. That is the 7 spice chili powder
