Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice (uncooked)
- 2.5 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture.
- Spread the rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and let it cool slightly.
- In another bowl, mix the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions until well combined. Adjust the Sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- Evenly spread the salmon mixture over the rice in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
- Serve warm, scooping out the bake with a spoon, and enjoy!
Notes
For extra umami, add a dash of soy sauce to the salmon mixture. You can also top with panko breadcrumbs for a crispy texture.
