Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice (uncooked)
- 2.5 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 lb fresh salmon fillet (skinless and diced)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup green onions (chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- 1 sheet nori (cut into small strips)
- to taste tobiko (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is in the middle.
- Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions, rinsing it under cold water, then combining it with water, and cooking until tender.
- In a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it and fold in the vinegar mixture.
- Spread the rice evenly in the baking dish and let it cool slightly.
- In another bowl, mix diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and green onions until well combined.
- Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice in the baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
- Serve warm, scooping out the bake with a spoon.
Notes
Don’t skip the rice rinse step to remove surface starch. You can use toasted sesame seeds in place of tobiko if needed.
