Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sushi Rice
1. Rinse Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2. Cook Rice: In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender.
3. Season Rice: 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 the rice to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Salmon Filling
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the salmon, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper. Use a fork to flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and mix until well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Sushi Bake
1. Layer Rice: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, evenly spread the seasoned sushi rice as the base layer.
2. Add Salmon: Top the rice with the teriyaki salmon mixture, spreading it evenly over the rice.
3. Mix Mayo and Sriracha: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha (if using) until smooth. Spread this mixture over the salmon layer.

Step 4: Bake
1. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
2. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top.

Step 5: Serve
1. Cool Slightly: Allow the sushi bake to cool for a few minutes before serving.
2. Enjoy: Serve warm with nori strips for scooping or on its own.
