Description
A comforting and easy baked dish that combines fluffy sushi rice with a spicy salmon topping, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
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)
- 1 sheet nori (cut into small strips)
- Tobiko (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the sushi rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine it with the 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to package instructions until tender.
- Flavor the rice: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once your rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture.
- Assemble the base: Evenly spread the seasoned rice at the bottom of a baking dish and allow it to cool slightly.
- Make the salmon topping: In a separate bowl, combine the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly, adjusting the level of spiciness to your liking.
- Top the rice with salmon mix: Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice, ensuring a good coverage.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is gently golden.
- Garnish: Once out of the oven, let the dish cool for a few minutes. Finish by garnishing with extra green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
- Serve: Scoop out your delicious bake with a spoon and enjoy warm.
