Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey or sugar
  • 3 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (use Kewpie for authentic flavor)
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup furikake (Japanese rice seasoning)
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded imitation crab (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook 3 cups of sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix it with 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the rice is evenly seasoned and set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of honey or sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.
  3. Using a fork, gently break the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Set the flaked salmon aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Adjust the sriracha according to your preferred spice level.
  5. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly across the bottom as the base layer. Add the flaked salmon on top of the rice, followed by the shredded imitation crab (if using). Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the top.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, just until heated through. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t dry out.
  7. Once the dish is out of the oven, sprinkle generously with furikake, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions. Arrange thinly sliced avocado on top for the finishing touch.
  8. Scoop portions into bowls or plates and enjoy warm. Serve with seaweed sheets for a fun DIY sushi experience!
