Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh sushi-grade salmon – diced (about 1 lb / 450g)
  • Short-grain sushi rice – 2 cups (uncooked)
  • Mayonnaise – 1/2 cup
  • Sriracha – 2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
  • Rice vinegar – 3 tablespoons
  • Sugar – 1 teaspoon
  • Soy sauce – 2 tablespoons (gluten-free if needed)
  • Green onions – 3 stalks, finely chopped
  • Cucumber – 1 medium, sliced thinly

Toppings

  • Furikake seasoning – 2 tablespoons
  • Shredded cheese (optional) – 1/2 cup (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
  • Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. While still warm, gently fold in rice vinegar and sugar to season the rice, ensuring it is flavorful and sticky enough for the bake.
  2. Mix the Spicy Salmon Topping: In a bowl, combine diced fresh salmon with mayonnaise and sriracha blended to your preferred spice level. Stir in finely chopped green onions for freshness and balanced flavor.
  3. Build the Layers: Grease a baking dish and spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly as the base layer. Lay sliced cucumber evenly over the rice to add crunch. Finally, spoon and spread the spicy salmon mixture on top for consistent flavor throughout.
  4. Add Toppings and Bake: Sprinkle the furikake seasoning and shredded cheese (if using) evenly over the salmon layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese bubbles and the salmon topping is warmed through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with extra chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving for enhanced flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh, sushi-grade salmon to ensure safety and optimal taste.
  • Do not overcook; bake just until bubbly to keep the salmon tender.
  • Use warm sushi rice for easier layering and better texture.
  • Adjust the spice level gradually by adding sriracha a teaspoon at a time to the mayo.
  • Chop green onions finely and distribute evenly for balanced flavor.
  • For a crispier topping, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs mixed with a little oil before baking.
  • Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo to avoid mayo.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce and verify other ingredients for gluten-free compliance.
