Ingredients

Scale

Rice Base

  • 2 cups sushi rice (uncooked)
  • 2.5 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Spicy Salmon Topping

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet (skinless and diced)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup green onions (chopped, plus extra for garnish)

Garnishes

  • 1 sheet nori (cut into small strips)
  • tobiko (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sushi casserole.
  2. Cook Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook the rice with 2.5 cups water in a rice cooker or pot until tender.
  3. Season Rice: In a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, stirring until dissolved. Fold this mixture gently into the cooked rice, fluffing carefully to maintain texture.
  4. Prepare Rice Base: Spread the seasoned rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and allow it to cool slightly to prevent mixing with the salmon layer during baking.
  5. Mix Salmon Topping: In a separate bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well and adjust spiciness according to preference.
  6. Assemble Bake: Evenly spread the spicy salmon mixture over the cooled rice layer in the baking dish.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and the top turns slightly golden brown.
  8. Garnish: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with extra green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
  9. Serve: Serve warm by scooping portions with a spoon and enjoy the creamy, spicy sushi bake.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best taste and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure mayonnaise and Sriracha are gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven.
  • Optional tobiko adds a nice texture and burst of flavor but can be omitted.
