Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 cups sushi rice (short-grain rice), cooked
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

Spicy Salmon Topping

  • 12 oz fresh sushi-grade salmon, diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Garnishes

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: small nori strips for topping or wrapping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Cook sushi rice according to package instructions until sticky and tender. While the rice is still warm, gently fold in rice vinegar and soy sauce evenly, then allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
  2. Mix the Spicy Salmon Topping: In a bowl, combine diced fresh salmon with mayonnaise, sriracha, and softened cream cheese. Mix until creamy and well-coated to ensure every bite has a flavorful kick.
  3. Assemble the Bake: Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly in a baking dish to form a stable base. Layer the spicy salmon mixture generously on top, smoothing it out for even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for 15-20 minutes until the salmon topping is bubbly and slightly golden, allowing the cream cheese to melt and flavors to intensify.
  5. Add Final Garnishes: Remove from oven and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and optional nori strips over the top. These garnishes add fresh texture and vibrant visual appeal.

Notes

  • Allow cooked rice to cool to room temperature before assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • Use sushi-grade salmon for the best taste and safety.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha in the spicy mayo to control heat level.
  • Press the rice firmly into the baking dish to create a stable base.
  • Do not overbake to preserve the delicate texture of salmon and cream cheese.
