Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake that combines the flavors of sushi in a baked dish.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound fresh salmon, skinless and boneless
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 sheet nori, cut into strips
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot, and cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool slightly.
- While the rice cools, prepare the salmon. Place the salmon in a baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Let it cool slightly, then flake it with a fork.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flaked salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce. Mix well until fully combined.
- In a large baking dish, spread the sushi rice evenly across the bottom. Top with the spicy salmon mixture, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until heated through and slightly crispy on top.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top with sliced avocado, chopped green onions, and nori strips. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add more mayonnaise to the salmon mixture.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of sriracha or use a different hot sauce.
- You can also substitute the salmon with cooked shrimp or crab for a different twist.
