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 (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. Cook the rice with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot until tender.
  3. Season Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture to evenly season the rice.
  4. Prepare Rice Base: Spread the seasoned rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and allow it to cool slightly to prevent mixing with the topping.
  5. Mix Salmon Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix thoroughly, adjusting the Sriracha to achieve your preferred spice level.
  6. Assemble Bake: Evenly spread the spicy salmon mixture over the rice layer in the baking dish, making sure to cover it completely.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the top has a slight golden color.
  8. Garnish: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional chopped green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if using.
  9. Serve: Serve the spicy salmon sushi bake warm by scooping portions with a spoon and enjoy your flavorful dish!

Notes

  • Use fresh sushi-grade salmon for the best flavor and safety.
  • Adjust Sriracha sauce according to your spice tolerance.
  • Allow the rice to cool slightly before adding the salmon topping to prevent mixing flavors prematurely.
  • For a crunchier topping, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Tobiko (flying fish roe) is optional but adds authentic flavor and texture.
