Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake is a warm, deconstructed take on classic sushi rolls, layered with seasoned sushi rice, creamy spicy salmon, and savory toppings. This comforting casserole-style dish delivers bold sushi flavors in an easy, shareable format.

Ingredients

  • For the rice:
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the salmon:
  • 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • For the spicy mixture:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • Toppings and serving:
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup furikake seasoning
  • Nori sheets, for serving
  • Avocado slices, for serving
  • Cucumber slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
  3. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold into cooked rice.
  4. Spread seasoned rice evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle half of the furikake over the top.
  5. Flake the salmon and mix with soy sauce and sesame oil.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and cream cheese until smooth. Fold into the salmon mixture.
  7. Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer.
  8. Sprinkle remaining furikake and chopped green onions on top.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes until heated through and slightly golden.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Scoop onto nori sheets and top with avocado and cucumber as desired.

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha to control spice level.
  • Leftover cooked salmon works well in this recipe.
  • Short-grain sushi rice provides the best sticky texture.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes.
