  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

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)

Garnish

  • 1 sheet nori (cut into small strips)
  • Tobiko (to taste, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sushi layered dish.
  2. Cook Rice: Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot and cook until tender and fully absorbed.
  3. Season Rice: In a 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 season the rice evenly.
  4. Layer Rice: Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and allow it to cool slightly to prevent overcooking during baking.
  5. Prepare Salmon Mixture: In another bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix until well blended, adjusting the spiciness to your preference.
  6. Assemble Bake: Spread the prepared salmon mixture evenly over the layer of sushi rice in the baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and the top is slightly golden and bubbly.
  8. Garnish: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional chopped green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired to enhance flavor and presentation.
  9. Serve: Serve the sushi bake warm by scooping out portions with a spoon and enjoy this comforting, spicy twist on sushi flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the salmon is fresh and diced uniformly for even cooking.
  • You can adjust the Sriracha quantity according to your preferred spice level.
  • Using a rice cooker makes cooking sushi rice easier and more consistent.
  • Letting the rice cool slightly before adding the salmon topping helps maintain texture.
  • Optional tobiko adds a nice pop of color and flavor but can be omitted.
