Ingredients

Rice Base

  • 2 cups sushi rice uncooked
  • 2.5 cups water
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Salmon Topping

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet skinless and diced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup green onions chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 sheet nori cut into small strips
  • tobiko to taste, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sushi bake.
  2. Cook Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with 2.5 cups of water using a rice cooker or on the stovetop until tender.
  3. Prepare Vinegar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, stirring until the sugar and salt fully dissolve.
  4. Mix Rice and Vinegar: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork. Fold in the vinegar mixture carefully to evenly season the rice without mashing.
  5. Layer Rice: Spread the seasoned rice evenly in the bottom of a baking dish. Allow it to cool slightly to help the topping adhere better.
  6. Prepare Salmon Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well and adjust the spice to your liking.
  7. Assemble Bake: Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish, creating an even topping.
  8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and the top turns slightly golden.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional green onions, nori strips, and optional tobiko. Serve warm by scooping portions with a spoon and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh sushi-grade salmon for the best flavor and safety.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the spiciness to your preference.
  • Letting the rice cool slightly before adding the salmon mixture helps maintain texture.
  • Tobiko is optional but adds a nice texture and visual appeal if available.
  • This recipe can be customized by adding avocado or cucumber as garnish for extra freshness.
