Ingredients
Scale
2 cups sushi rice
2 ½ cups water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup cooked salmon, flaked
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha
2 sheets nori, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool.
In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, flaked salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.
In a baking dish, spread the cooled sushi rice evenly across the bottom. Layer the salmon mixture on top, then sprinkle with nori pieces and panko breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, garnish with sesame seeds, and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
This salmon sushi bake is a great alternative to traditional sushi rolls.
Adjust sriracha for your preferred spice level.
Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
