For the Rice
  • 2 cups Sushi Rice Rinsing prevents gumminess for a perfect base.

For the Topping
  • 1 pound Fresh Salmon Fillet Rich in flavor; substitute with cooked crab or shrimp if desired.

  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce Imparts a spicy kick; feel free to adjust to your taste preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Adds a nutty, aromatic depth to the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions Freshness is key; mix in and use as a garnish for brightness.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear; cook it according to the package instructions, about 18-20 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt; stir until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff and mix in the vinegar blend while warm.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together diced fresh salmon fillet, mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Adjust spice level to taste.
  5. Spread the seasoned sushi rice in a greased baking dish, then spoon the salmon mixture over the rice evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the salmon is cooked and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Let it cool for about 5 minutes, then garnish with extra green onions and optional toppings like nori or tobiko before serving warm.
