Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon furikake seasoning
- 1/2 avocado (sliced or diced)
- 1/2 cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon green onions (chopped)
- Roasted seaweed sheets or seaweed snacks, for serving
Instructions
- Prep the rice base: Start by cooking your sushi rice according to package directions. While it’s still warm, gently mix in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- Make the teriyaki salmon: In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet and brush it generously with the sauce. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Once cool enough to handle, shred the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the creamy topping: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, and softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Assemble the layers: In a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, press the seasoned sushi rice into an even layer. Top with the flaked teriyaki salmon, then spread the creamy mayo mixture evenly over the salmon.
- Bake the sushi: Sprinkle the top with furikake seasoning and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, just until heated through and slightly golden on top.
- Add toppings and serve: Top with sliced avocado, cucumber, and green onions. Serve warm with roasted seaweed sheets for scooping.
Notes
- This dish is perfect for a group gathering and can be customized with your favorite toppings.
- Feel free to adjust the sriracha amount based on your spice preference.
