Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Rice

  • 2 cups sushi rice (uncooked)

  • 2½ cups water

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Salmon Layer

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skinless and diced

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • ½ cup green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Toppings (Optional)

  • 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips

  • Tobiko (fish roe)

  • Extra green onions

Instructions

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

  2. Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Rinse the rice under cold water until clear, then cook with water until tender.

  3. Season the rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold into the warm rice and fluff with a fork.

  4. Assemble the base: Spread the seasoned rice evenly into the baking dish and let it cool slightly.

  5. Make the salmon mixture: In a bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix well.

  6. Layer and bake: 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.

  7. Garnish and serve: Let cool for a few minutes, then top with nori strips, tobiko, and extra green onions. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Control the heat: Add Sriracha gradually so you can adjust the spice level.

  • Extra creaminess: Mix in a tablespoon of cream cheese for a richer topping.

  • Crispy top: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a lightly toasted finish.

  • How to serve: Scoop with a spoon and eat with nori sheets, cucumber slices, or crackers
