Ingredients
  

For the Rice Base

  • 2 cups Water Hydrates the rice during cooking.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Can substitute with apple cider vinegar.
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar Balances the rice's acidity; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall flavor.
For the Salmon Mixture
  • 1 pound Salmon Fillet Fresh and skinless is ideal.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Use low-fat mayo for a lighter dish.
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha Sauce Customize by adjusting the amount.
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil Optional but recommended for authenticity.
  • 2 scallions Green Onions Adds freshness and crunch.
For Toppings
  • 2 sheets Nori Can be omitted for simpler serving.
  • 1/4 cup Tobiko Optional for an extra burst of texture.

Equipment

  • fine-mesh sieve
  • medium pot
  • mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice with water, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover the pot, allowing the rice to simmer gently for 18-20 minutes until tender.
  2. Prepare the vinegar mixture by whisking together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. When the rice finishes cooking, remove from heat, let stand covered for 10 minutes, fluff with a fork, and fold in the vinegar mixture.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine diced salmon fillet, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix until well incorporated.
  4. Spread the sushi rice evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer the salmon mixture on top, spreading it out to cover the rice.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled sushi bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Let the dish cool for about 5 minutes, then garnish with sliced green onions, nori strips, and optional tobiko. Serve warm.
