Two of my favorite foods – sushi and pizza – come together in the form of sushi pizza! This fun and healthy recipe doesn’t require any rolling.Fun Recipe Idea - Make Sushi Pizza for a Healthy Junk Food Alternative!

Sushi, sushi, sushi. My sushi burrito recipe was such a big hit, I have another fun sushi twist for you today – sushi pizza! It’s also a fun collab with my friend Ally from Fashion By Ally. It’s the next recipe in our monthly recipe series.

If making healthy choices is one of your New Year’s resolutions this year, swap out your traditional pizza for a sushi pizza! I basically crave sushi every five minutes, but it’s too expensive to eat it all the time. Making sushi at home is a great way to get your fix. Whether you’re making traditional sushi, sushi burritos or sushi pizza, it’s also really fun, and a great activity for a group or a date.Fun Recipe Idea - Make Sushi Pizza for a Healthy Junk Food Alternative!

The biggest expense is the fish itself. It’s very important to get sushi or sashimi grade fish so you don’t get sick from eating it uncooked. As you might guess, it’s pretty expensive to get good fish, typically $20 to $35 per pound. That being said, a pound of fish will feed quite a few people! The fish for this pizza cost about $30, which works out to be about $7 a serving. That’s way less than eating out.

If you’re looking for sashimi-grade fish, I suggest checking out your local Japanese market (if you have one), Whole Foods (they sometimes carry sashimi-grade fish), or you can order sashimi online at Catalina Offshore Products. If you’re looking for sushi-grade fish in San Francisco, Nijiya Market in Japantown is great.

Two of my favorite foods – sushi and pizza – come together in the form of sushi pizza! This fun and healthy recipe doesn’t require any rolling.

  • Author: Kelly Egan
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x
  • Category: Main Dish
  • Method: No Bake
  • Cuisine: Japanese
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • Sushi rice, cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar and salt (recipe here)
  • 1 small carrot
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 6 ounces sashimi grade salmon
  • 6 ounces sashimi grade tuna
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 nori (seaweed) sheet
  • Sushi seasoning (Furikake)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for serving

Special Equipment

  • Mandoline slicer (optional)
  • Mandoline slicer safety glove (optional)

Instructions

  1. Press cooked sushi rice (recipe here) onto your desired platter.
  2. Use a mandolin slicer or sharp knife to chop carrot and cucumber into thin slices. If using a mandolin slicer, be extremely careful. A mandolin slicer glove costs just a few dollars and is way easier to use than the attachment that comes with the slicer itself.
  3. Spread chopped vegetables onto sushi rice.
  4. Slice salmon and tuna filets into 1/4 inch thick slices. Layer on sushi rice.
  5. Slice avocado and add to pizza.
  6. Use a scissors or cooking sheers to cut nori into thin 1-inch strips. Layer onto pizza. Top with additional sliced vegetables, sushi seasoning, and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi.

    This is a delicious idea. Mitsuwa is a Japanese grocery here in the South Bay and they have a huge variety of sushi grade fish :-).
