Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Combine rice and 2.5 cups water in a rice cooker or saucepan. Cook according to rice cooker directions or bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18 minutes. Let rest off heat for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
- Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture so the grains stay separate but glossy.
- Spread the seasoned rice in an even layer across the bottom of a 9x13-inch (or similar) baking dish. Let the rice cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Mixing the Salmon Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix until evenly coated. Taste and adjust Sriracha for spiciness.
Baking
- Spoon or spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice in the baking dish and smooth the top gently.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the top shows light golden spots. If you want a more browned top, switch to broil for the final 1 to 2 minutes while watching closely.
- Remove from oven and rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with extra green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if using. Scoop and serve warm.
