Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with 2.5 cups of water in a medium pot and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until dissolved and fold into the rice.
  4. Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly in a greased baking dish.
  5. Combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and green onions in a bowl until well mixed.
  6. Spread the salmon mixture over the layer of seasoned rice.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden.
  8. Remove from the oven, cool slightly, and garnish with green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
  9. Serve warm, scooping out generous portions for a family-style meal.
