Ingredients
Scale
Sushi Rice
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Salmon Mixture
- 1 pound fresh salmon, skinless and boneless
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Toppings and Garnishes
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup nori sheets, cut into strips
- Soy sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preparing the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Combine the rinsed rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a rice cooker or pot. If using a pot, bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let the rice rest covered for 10 minutes.
- Making the Spicy Salmon Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the fresh salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until the salmon is evenly coated in the creamy, spicy mixture. Adjust sriracha to your desired spice level. Set aside.
- Assembling the Sushi Bake: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until sugar dissolves. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice to season it. Spread the seasoned rice evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing it down lightly to form a solid base. Spread the spicy salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer.
- Baking the Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Top the sushi bake with chopped green onions, diced cucumber, and nori strips for freshness and texture. Serve warm with soy sauce on the side.
Notes
- Use fresh, sashimi-grade salmon for the best flavor and safety.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spiciness.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo to make it dairy-free.
- For easier slicing, let the sushi bake cool completely before serving.
- Sushi rice is key for the proper texture; do not substitute with regular rice.
