Ingredients

Scale

Rice Mixture

  • 2 cups sushi rice, uncooked
  • 2.5 cups water
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Salmon Topping

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skinless and diced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup green onions, chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 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 later on.
  2. Cook Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and 2.5 cups water in a rice cooker or pot, then cook until tender following package instructions.
  3. Prepare Rice Vinegar Mixture: In a bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork and fold in the vinegar mixture to season the rice evenly.
  4. Layer Rice: Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish, then allow it to cool slightly to create a solid base.
  5. Make Salmon Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients. Adjust Sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  6. Assemble: Evenly spread the salmon mixture over the rice layer in the baking dish, creating a uniform top layer.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the surface is lightly golden.
  8. Garnish: After baking, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with extra green onions, nori strips, and optional tobiko to add texture and visual appeal.
  9. Serve: Serve the sushi bake warm, scooping portions out with a spoon. Enjoy the rich, spicy flavors that mimic traditional sushi in an easy casserole format.

Notes

  • You can substitute the salmon with cooked crab or shrimp for variation.
  • For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Sriracha sauce added to the salmon mixture.
  • Serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
