  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

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

  • To taste tobiko (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions, rinsing it under cold water and then combining it with water to cook until tender.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with additional green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
  9. Serve warm, scooping out the bake with a spoon.
