Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Rinse it under cold water, then combine it with water in a rice cooker or pot, and cook until tender.
In a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture.
Spread the rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and let it cool slightly.

Salmon Mixture

In another bowl, mix the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and green onions until well combined. Adjust the spiciness to your preference.
Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice in the baking dish.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
Serve warm, scooping out the bake with a spoon, and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, warm it in the oven or microwave until heated through. Tips: Rinse sushi rice well, adjust Sriracha to taste, and allow to cool before serving to enhance flavors.
