Ingredients

Scale

Rice

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

Salmon Mixture

  • 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)

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 prepare for the baking process.
  2. Cook Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with 2.5 cups water in a rice cooker or pot, and cook until tender according to package instructions.
  3. Prepare Vinegar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork and fold in the vinegar mixture evenly to season the rice.
  4. Spread Rice: Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly in the bottom of a baking dish and allow it to cool slightly to help maintain texture during baking.
  5. Make Salmon Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well, adjusting Sriracha to your preferred level of spiciness.
  6. Layer Salmon Mixture: Spread the spicy salmon mixture evenly over the bed of rice in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked and the top edges are lightly golden.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish the top with extra chopped green onions, nori strips, and a sprinkle of tobiko if desired. Serve warm by scooping portions out with a spoon.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce to control the heat level of the bake.
  • Letting the rice cool slightly before adding the salmon mixture helps maintain a firmer texture.
  • Tobiko adds a nice crunch and visual appeal but is optional.
  • This dish can be reheated in the oven or microwave but is best enjoyed fresh.
