Description

A delightful and comforting dish combining the flavors of sushi in a baked format with tender salmon, creamy sriracha mayo, and perfectly cooked sushi rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillet
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 sheet nori (seaweed), cut into strips
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse the sushi rice until the water runs clear.
  2. In a pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until tender.
  3. Season the salmon fillet with soy sauce and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked. Flake the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until smooth.
  5. Spread the cooked sushi rice evenly in a baking dish, layer flaked salmon on top, and spread the spicy mayo mixture over everything.
  6. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until heated through and slightly bubbly.
  7. Garnish with green onions, nori strips, and sesame seeds. Serve warm, with extra soy sauce if desired.
