Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Rice

  • 2 cups uncooked sushi rice

  • 2 ½ cups water

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Salmon Topping

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skinless and diced

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (or to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • ½ cup chopped green onions (plus more for garnish)

Garnishes

  • 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips

  • Tobiko (optional)

  • Soy sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook with water according to package instructions.

  • In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently and fold in the vinegar mixture.

  • Spread the seasoned rice evenly into the bottom of the baking dish. Let it cool slightly.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix until well coated.

  • Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice.

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the top is lightly golden.

  • Remove from the oven and rest for a few minutes. Garnish with extra green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if using.

  • Serve warm and scoop with a spoon.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon: Sushi-grade or very fresh salmon gives the best flavor and texture.

  • Adjust the heat: Add more or less sriracha depending on your spice tolerance.

  • Make it creamy: Add a little extra mayo on top before baking if you like it richer.

  • Great substitutions: Cooked crab, imitation crab, or shrimp work well instead of salmon.

  • How to eat it: Scoop onto nori sheets or enjoy with cucumber slices for a lighter bite.
