Ingredients
Scale
For the Sushi Rice
- 2 cups sushi rice (uncooked)
- 2.5 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Salmon Mixture
- 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)
For Garnish
- 1 sheet nori (cut into small strips)
- Tobiko (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the salmon sushi bake.
- Cook sushi rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or a pot and cook until tender following package instructions.
- Prepare vinegar seasoning: In a bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until completely dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture to season the rice evenly.
- Layer the rice: Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish. Allow the rice to cool slightly before adding the next layer.
- Make salmon mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly, adjusting the amount of Sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- Spread salmon layer: Evenly spread the spicy salmon mixture over the cooled sushi rice in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and the top has turned slightly golden.
- Garnish and cool: 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.
- Serve: Serve the sushi bake warm by scooping portions onto plates and enjoy the layered sushi flavors in a comforting baked form.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and safety.
- You can adjust the spiciness by modifying the amount of Sriracha.
- Allowing the rice to cool slightly before layering prevents it from becoming mushy.
- Tobiko is optional but adds a nice texture and flavor contrast.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven.
