Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Salmon Mixture

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skinless
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Toppings & Garnishes

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into strips
  • Soy sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil on the stove, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is tender.
  2. Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let the rice cool slightly to room temperature while you prepare the salmon.
  3. Bake the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the skinless salmon fillet in a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked and opaque. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before flaking the salmon with a fork.
  4. Make the Spicy Salmon Mixture: In a bowl, combine the flaked salmon with mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure the salmon is evenly coated with the spicy sauce.
  5. Assemble the Sushi Bake: Spread the prepared sushi rice evenly across the bottom of a large baking dish. Layer the spicy salmon mixture evenly on top of the rice.
  6. Bake Again: Bake the assembled dish in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy on top, creating a delicious crust.
  7. Add Final Toppings: Remove the sushi bake from the oven. Top with sliced avocado and chopped green onions to add freshness and texture.
  8. Serve: Serve the sushi bake hot with nori strips and soy sauce on the side, allowing everyone to enjoy with their preferred accompaniments.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, add more sriracha to the salmon mixture or drizzle it on top before serving.
  • You can substitute the salmon with cooked shrimp or crab for a different but equally delicious flavor.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the baking dish to achieve a crispy top layer.
  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best taste and texture.
