Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook in a rice cooker or pot with 2.5 cups of water. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Combine 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl. Stir until dissolved and fold into the fluffed rice.
  3. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the seasoned rice evenly across the bottom, and press it down gently.
  4. In a mixing bowl, dice 8 ounces of salmon and combine it with 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 2 sliced green onions. Stir until well combined.
  5. Spread the salmon mixture over the rice layer evenly and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven, let it cool for 5-10 minutes, and garnish with sliced green onions, nori strips, and optional tobiko before serving.
