Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Sushi Rice

01 - 2 cups sushi rice, uncooked
02 - 3 cups water
03 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
04 - 1 tablespoon sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon salt

→ Salmon Mixture

06 - 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
07 - ¼ cup mayonnaise
08 - 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce, adjust to taste
09 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
10 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil

→ Toppings and Serving

11 - 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped, for garnish
12 - 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds, for garnish
13 - Nori sheets, for serving (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and reduce to low. Cook for 18–20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes, still covered. In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Once the rice has rested, fluff it with a fork and gently incorporate the vinegar mixture. Set aside to cool slightly.
02 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
03 - In a mixing bowl, flake the salmon into small pieces. Add the mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the flaked salmon. Mix until well combined.
04 - In a prepared 9x9 inch baking dish, spread the sushi rice evenly across the bottom. Top with the spicy salmon mixture.
05 - Place the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly crispy.
06 - Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and black sesame seeds. Serve warm with optional nori sheets for wrapping bites.

# Additional Notes:

01 - You can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less Sriracha sauce based on your preference.
02 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
03 - Pair with a side of pickled ginger and wasabi for a more authentic sushi experience.
