Ingredients

Scale

Sushi Rice Base

  • 2 cups short-grain sushi rice, cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt

Spicy Salmon Topping

  • 8 oz sushi-grade fresh salmon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2–3 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional)

Additional Layers & Garnish

  • 1/2 cup cucumber, finely chopped
  • 2–3 sheets nori, crumbled or torn
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Soy sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Cook 2 cups of short-grain sushi rice according to the package instructions. While still warm, season with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir gently and allow to cool slightly before use.
  2. Mix the Spicy Salmon Topping: In a bowl, combine the chopped sushi-grade salmon with mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Add cream cheese if desired. Mix thoroughly until the salmon is evenly coated with the spicy creamy mixture.
  3. Assemble the Bake: Grease a baking dish and evenly spread the seasoned sushi rice to form a firm base layer. Layer the chopped cucumber and crumbled nori sheets over the rice. Carefully spread the spicy salmon mixture evenly on top of the layered ingredients.
  4. Bake the Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the sushi casserole for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly golden around the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the top. Serve warm with soy sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use sushi-grade salmon for freshness and safety when consuming raw fish.
  • Handle sushi rice gently to keep it fluffy yet sticky.
  • Taste and adjust the spice level of your mayo before mixing with salmon.
  • Use a shallow baking dish to ensure even baking and heating.
  • Let the bake cool slightly before serving to make slicing easier and flavors meld better.
