Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Rice

  • 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 (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips
  • Tobiko, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the salmon sushi bake.
  2. Cook Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and 2.5 cups water in a rice cooker or pot, then cook until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
  3. Prepare Sushi Rice Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, stir together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork and carefully fold in the vinegar mixture to season the rice evenly.
  4. Assemble Rice Layer: Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and allow it to cool slightly to help maintain texture during baking.
  5. Make Salmon Mixture: In another bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix until well blended. Adjust Sriracha to control spiciness according to your preference.
  6. Assemble Bake: Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the layer of sushi rice in the baking dish, creating a uniform topping.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the surface is slightly golden and bubbly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with extra green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if using. Serve warm by scooping out portions with a spoon. Enjoy your spicy salmon sushi bake!

Notes

  • You can substitute the salmon with cooked crab or shrimp if preferred for different seafood variations.
  • Reduce the amount of Sriracha sauce for a milder flavor if desired.
  • This dish pairs well with soy sauce on the side for additional dipping flavor.
