Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice, uncooked
  • 2 1/2 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
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook until tender.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the cooked rice and let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the seasoned rice evenly into the bottom of the dish and let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix until well coated.
  5. Spread the salmon mixture over the rice layer evenly.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then sprinkle with nori strips before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha for a milder or spicier version.
  • Add avocado or cucumber on top after baking for freshness.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds before baking for extra texture.
  • Best served warm and freshly reheated.
