Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Rice Layer

  • 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 Garnishes

  • 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

  1. Preheat oven and prepare dish: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and allow for even baking.
  2. Prepare sushi rice layer: In a bowl, combine cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the rice is evenly seasoned. Press the rice firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a stable base.
  3. Make the spicy salmon mixture: In another bowl, combine the flaked cooked salmon with mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the salmon is evenly coated with the spicy sauce.
  4. Layer the salmon mixture: Spread the spicy salmon mixture evenly over the pressed sushi rice layer, ensuring full coverage for balanced flavor in every bite.
  5. Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the salmon layer. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the sushi bake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for easier serving. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm alongside the roasted seaweed squares to scoop portions like traditional sushi.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly cooked sushi rice and allow it to cool slightly before mixing with vinegar.
  • The spiciness level can be adjusted by modifying the amount of Sriracha sauce.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with Monterey Jack or a mild melting cheese if preferred.
  • Cook the salmon by baking, grilling, or pan-searing until just cooked through to retain moisture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently before serving.
