Ingredients

Sushi Rice:

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Salmon Mixture:

  • 6 ounces cooked or baked salmon (flaked)
  • ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 1 sheet nori (cut into strips)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • Soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, typically boiling or steaming it until tender. While it’s still warm, stir in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to season evenly. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
  2. Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked cooked salmon with softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and optional sriracha. Mix thoroughly until the texture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the flavors are well incorporated.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Press the cooled sushi rice evenly into the bottom of a baking dish to form a firm layer. Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice. Place the dish in a preheated oven set to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the salmon topping is golden and slightly bubbly.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove the baked sushi from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish the top with sliced avocado, nori strips, sesame seeds, and thinly sliced green onions. Serve warm alongside soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for dipping and added flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, use sushi or short-grain rice to ensure proper texture.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity according to your preferred spice level or omit if desired.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative for a lactose-free version.
  • The salmon can be grilled, baked, or pan-seared before flaking.
  • Make sure the rice is cooled before assembling to prevent mushiness.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered and consume within 2 days for freshness.
