A delicious and easy recipe for Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake, combining sushi rice with a creamy, spicy salmon topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice uncooked
- 2.5 cups water
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 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
- to taste tobiko optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions, typically rinsing it under cold water, then combining it with water in a rice cooker or pot, and cooking until tender.
- In a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture.
- Spread the rice evenly at the bottom of the baking dish and let it cool slightly.
- In another bowl, mix the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and green onions until well combined. Adjust the spiciness to your preference.
- Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
- Serve warm, scooping out the bake with a spoon, and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce to control the spiciness.
- Tobiko can be omitted if you prefer a simpler garnish.
