Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 1 ½ pounds salmon
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • 2 Tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Kewpie mayo
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped
  • ¼ cup furikake seasoning
  • as needed nori squares
  • as needed tortilla chips

Instructions

  • Cook the rice: Prepare sushi rice according to package instructions, ensuring it becomes sticky and fluffy.
  • Bake the salmon: Cook the salmon by baking at 375°F for 15-18 minutes, or broil for about 8 minutes.
  • Shred the salmon: Allow the cooked salmon to cool slightly, then shred it while removing the skin.
  • Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine the shredded salmon with soy sauce, sesame oil, kewpie mayo, sriracha, rice vinegar, cream cheese, green onions, and furikake. Stir until blended.
  • Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F.
  • Layer the rice: Press the cooked sushi rice into an even layer in an 8x8 or 9x11 baking dish.
  • Add salmon mixture: Spoon the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer.
  • Sprinkle toppings: Generously sprinkle furikake seasoning on top.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, then broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve: Dish out your vibrant Salmon Sushi Bake immediately with nori squares or tortilla chips.

Notes

  • Sticky Rice: Ensure your sushi rice is cooked according to package instructions.
  • Skin-Free Salmon: Always remove the salmon skin before mixing it into the filling.
  • Sriracha Adjustments: Feel free to adjust the amount of Sriracha to suit your heat preference.
  • Coconut Aminos Option: Consider using Coconut Aminos instead of soy sauce for a lower-sodium alternative.
  • Golden Crust: Broil the bake for an additional 2-3 minutes for that perfect golden crust.
