Ingredients

Scale

Rice Mixture

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

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)

Garnish

  • 1 sheet nori (cut into small strips)
  • tobiko to taste (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 the water runs clear. Combine with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot and cook until tender as per package instructions.
  3. Season Rice: In a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, stirring until fully dissolved. Once rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture to evenly season the rice.
  4. Prepare Rice Base: Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and allow it to cool slightly to prevent mixing with the salmon topping.
  5. Mix Salmon Topping: In another bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well, adjusting the spiciness according to your taste preference.
  6. Assemble Bake: Evenly spread the spicy salmon mixture over the layer of rice in the baking dish.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and the top turns slightly golden.
  8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with extra green onions, strips of nori, and tobiko if desired for added texture and flavor.
  9. Serve: Serve the spicy salmon sushi bake warm, scooping portions with a spoon, and enjoy the comforting, sushi-inspired flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh sushi-grade salmon for the best flavor and safety.
  • Adjust Sriracha sauce amount based on your heat preference.
  • To make it less spicy, reduce or omit the Sriracha sauce and add more mayonnaise.
  • Tobiko is optional but adds a nice crunch and authentic sushi flair.
  • This dish can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
