Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 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)

Garnishes

  • 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 ensure it is ready for baking the sushi bake.
  2. Cook Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot, and cook according to package instructions until tender.
  3. Season Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture to evenly season the rice.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly at the bottom of the baking dish. Let it cool slightly to prevent the salmon mixture from melting prematurely.
  5. 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 amount of Sriracha to your preferred level of spiciness.
  6. Assemble Sushi Bake: Evenly spread the spicy salmon mixture over the layer of sushi rice in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
  7. Bake: Place the assembled dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top looks slightly golden and bubbly.
  8. Garnish: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool a few minutes. Garnish with extra chopped green onions, nori strips, and optional tobiko for added flavor and texture.
  9. Serve: Scoop out portions and serve the spicy salmon sushi bake warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute salmon with cooked shrimp or crab meat for variation.
  • Adjust the Sriracha quantity to customize the heat level.
  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even heat distribution.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure your Sriracha and mayonnaise are gluten-free.
