Ingredients

Scale

For the Sushi Rice

  • 2 cups sushi rice (uncooked)
  • 2.5 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Spicy Salmon Topping

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet (skinless and diced)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup green onions (chopped, plus extra for garnish)

Garnishes

  • 1 sheet nori (cut into small strips)
  • tobiko (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sushi bake.
  2. Cook Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to package instructions until tender.
  3. Season Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork and fold in the vinegar mixture evenly.
  4. Assemble Rice Layer: Spread the seasoned rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and allow it to cool slightly to prevent sogginess.
  5. Prepare Salmon Mixture: In another bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well to ensure the salmon is fully coated and adjust spiciness to your preference.
  6. Layer the Salmon: Spread the spicy salmon mixture evenly over the layer of rice in the baking dish.
  7. Bake: Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired. Serve warm, scooping portions with a spoon.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha depending on your spice tolerance.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven.
  • Optional tobiko adds a nice texture and authentic sushi flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
