Ingredients
Scale
Rice Base
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Spicy Salmon Mixture
- 12 oz skinless salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Toppings and Garnish
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 sheets roasted seaweed (nori), cut into small squares
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Rice Layer: In a bowl, combine the cooked sushi rice, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly, then press the rice evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even base.
- Make Spicy Salmon Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the flaked cooked salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined. This mixture provides the spicy and creamy topping.
- Assemble Bake: Spread the spicy salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish. Then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top to cover the salmon mixture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and starting to turn golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm with the roasted seaweed squares on the side for scooping and enjoying.
Notes
- For best results, cook the salmon by baking or steaming before flaking.
- You can substitute mozzarella with a milder melting cheese like Monterey Jack if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce to control the spiciness.
- Use short-grain sushi rice for authentic texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately after baking for optimal taste and texture.
