Savory Salmon Sushi Bake made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 pound salmon fillet
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • ¼ cup green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Nori sheets for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and gently mix in rice vinegar.
  • While the rice cools, prepare the salmon by removing skin and bones, then chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sriracha, green onions, and sesame oil.
  • Gently fold the chopped salmon into the mayonnaise mixture until well coated.
  • In a greased baking dish, spread the cooked rice evenly across the bottom.
  • Top the rice with the salmon mixture, spreading it evenly across the surface.
  • Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs on top of the salmon mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is heated through.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm with nori sheets, allowing diners to scoop and wrap their sushi bake portions as desired.
