Ordered a bagel sushi roll expecting smoked salmon, but it’s raw. Best way to cook it?

I ordered a bagel sushi roll expecting to find smoked salmon, but it turned out to be raw. As someone who really dislikes raw salmon, I’m hoping to cook it instead. What’s the best way to do that?

I was thinking about pan frying it, but I worry it might stick to the pan. Baking is another option I considered.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: I decided to take the salmon out of the roll, pan-fry it, then put it back inside. I paired it with a quick honey ginger sauce, and it turned out delicious!

For clarification, this is a maki sushi roll called a “bagel roll,” typically featuring cured or smoked salmon and cream cheese wrapped in sushi rice and seaweed. It’s named after the classic lox bagel combination.

  1. Glad you figured out a way to enjoy it! Your method of pan-frying the salmon and adding it back to the roll sounds delicious, especially with that homemade honey ginger sauce. For anyone else who might encounter a similar situation, pan-frying is definitely a good option for cooking raw salmon. Just make sure to use a non-stick pan or add a little oil to prevent sticking. Baking is also a great choice—just be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t dry out. You can wrap it in foil for even cooking. Either way, it’s all about finding what works best for your taste! Enjoy your next bagel roll!
