A flavorful and easy-to-make spicy salmon sushi bake that combines sushi rice and a creamy salmon mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice, uncooked
- 2½ cups water
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 lb (450 g) fresh salmon fillet, skinless and diced
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ cup green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips (optional)
- Tobiko, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions.
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook with the water until tender.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved.
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork and fold in the vinegar mixture while the rice is still warm.
- Spread the seasoned rice evenly in the bottom of a lightly greased baking dish. Let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix until well combined. Adjust spice to taste.
- Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with extra green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if using.
- Serve warm and enjoy by scooping with a spoon or nori sheets.
