Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sushi Rice
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 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 heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- In a small bowl, mix the 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.
Step 2: Prepare the Salmon Filling
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Bake for about 15–20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3: Assemble the Sushi Bake
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly across the bottom.
- Distribute the flaked salmon evenly over the rice.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly over the salmon layer.
- Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Step 5: Serve
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares. Serve warm and enjoy.
