Ingredients

Scale

Rice Layer

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Salmon Mixture

  • 12 oz skinless salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Toppings and Garnish

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 sheets roasted seaweed (nori), cut into small squares
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare rice layer: In a bowl, combine cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well seasoned. Evenly press the rice mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a compact layer.
  3. Make salmon topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the flaked cooked salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
  4. Assemble the bake: Spread the spicy salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the salmon layer for a melty finish.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly to set.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the top. Serve warm with the roasted seaweed squares on the side to scoop up each delicious bite.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, try using cream cheese instead of mayonnaise for a richer salmon topping.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with a mild melting cheese like Monterey Jack or a blend for variation.
  • Make sure the sushi rice is slightly cooled before layering to avoid sogginess.
  • The recipe can easily be doubled for larger gatherings using a bigger baking dish.
  • This dish is best served warm but can be refrigerated and gently reheated for leftovers.
