Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bake is a cozy, flavorful sushi-inspired casserole combining tender Coho salmon glazed in sweet-savory teriyaki sauce, a sticky sushi rice base, creamy avocado, spicy mayo, and crunchy toppings like crispy fried onions and furikake seasoning. Broiled to caramelized perfection, this dish offers an easy, comforting way to enjoy sushi flavors at home, perfect for date nights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Marinade

  • ¾ lb Coho Salmon, skin removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons Teriyaki Sauce or Japanese BBQ Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder

Sushi Rice Base

  • 3 cups Cooked Sushi Rice

Toppings

  • 1 small Avocado, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons Spicy Mayo (mayonnaise mixed with sriracha)
  • 1 tablespoon Furikake seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Crispy Fried Onion Bits
  • 2 tablespoons Scallions, finely diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Carefully remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into 1-inch pieces. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the salmon pieces with teriyaki sauce and kosher salt to marinate and set aside, allowing the flavors to meld.
  2. Build the Sushi Bake: In a small baking dish, evenly spread and firmly pat down the cooked sushi rice to create a flat base layer. Top the rice with the marinated teriyaki salmon pieces, then sprinkle the surface evenly with garlic powder and brown sugar to enhance caramelization.
  3. Broil: Preheat your oven’s broiler and place the baking dish near the top rack. Broil for approximately 6 minutes, or until the salmon begins to caramelize and develop crispy edges, creating a delicious sweet-savory glaze.
  4. Add Toppings: Remove the dish from the oven and immediately top with cubed avocado, a generous drizzle of spicy mayo, a sprinkle of furikake seasoning, crispy fried onion bits, and finely diced scallions to add fresh, creamy, crunchy, and spicy layers of flavor and texture.
  5. Serve: Serve the teriyaki salmon sushi bake hot and fresh for the best experience. Scoop portions onto plates and enjoy the comforting combination of warm salmon, seasoned rice, and vibrant toppings with each bite.

Notes

  • Coho salmon is recommended for its firm texture and rich flavor that holds well under broiling.
  • Use sushi rice seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt for authentic flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha in the spicy mayo to control heat level.
  • For a lighter version, substitute reduced-fat mayonnaise or use yogurt-based sauce for spicy mayo.
  • To vary the recipe, try substituting shrimp, imitation crab, or tofu as the main protein.
  • Add diced cucumber or pickled radish for extra crunch and brightness.
  • Double the recipe easily for larger gatherings by using a bigger baking dish and doubling ingredient quantities.
  • Broil carefully to prevent burning; watch closely during the final minutes.
