Ingredients

Scale

Rice Base

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

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
  • 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. Combine the rice and 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot and cook until tender and fully cooked.
  3. Prepare Rice Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
  4. Season Rice: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork and fold in the vinegar mixture evenly to season the rice.
  5. Layer Rice: Spread the seasoned rice evenly in the bottom of your baking dish and allow it to cool slightly.
  6. Mix Salmon Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well and adjust the Sriracha amount to your desired spice level.
  7. Assemble Bake: Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish.
  8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden and bubbly.
  9. 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 portions with a spoon.

Notes

  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even baking.
  • If fresh salmon is unavailable, high-quality frozen salmon can be used but ensure it is fully thawed before mixing.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce to control spiciness to your preference.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven.
