Print Recipe

A nourishing twist on sushi that brings baked salmon, sushi rice, and spicy mayo together in a warm, comforting casserole-style dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked brown sushi rice
  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skinless
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 sheets of nori (seaweed), cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • Optional: 1/4 cup pickled ginger, chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 cucumber, sliced thinly
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup edamame, shelled and cooked

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the brown sushi rice according to package instructions and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  4. Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush it with the soy sauce mixture, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until it’s cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sriracha to make a spicy mayo. Adjust the sriracha to taste.
  7. Once the salmon is done, let it cool slightly before flaking it gently with a fork.
  8. In a large baking dish, spread the cooked sushi rice evenly across the bottom.
  9. Layer the flaked salmon on top of the rice, followed by slices of avocado.
  10. Drizzle the spicy mayo over the top, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and nori strips.
  11. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  12. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in the soy sauce mixture for up to 30 minutes. Avoid overcooking the salmon to keep it moist and flaky. Rinse rice thoroughly before cooking for ideal texture.
