Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Salmon Layer:

  • 2 cups cooked salmon (baked or canned)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie)
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for spice)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

For Toppings:

  • 1/4 cup furikake seasoning
  • Thinly sliced green onions
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Nori sheets or seaweed snacks for serving

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Cubed avocado for creaminess
  • Imitation crab or shrimp for extra seafood flavor

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sushi Rice

    • Cook sushi rice according to package instructions.

    • While still warm, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.

    • Spread the seasoned rice evenly into a greased baking dish.

  • Prepare the Salmon Mixture

    • If using fresh salmon, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes or until fully cooked.

    • Flake salmon into small pieces with a fork.

    • In a bowl, mix flaked salmon with cream cheese, Japanese mayo, sriracha (if using), and soy sauce until smooth.

  • Assemble the Bake

    • Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the sushi rice layer.

    • Sprinkle furikake seasoning generously over the top.

  • Bake It

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Bake for 15–20 minutes until heated through and slightly golden on top.

 

  • Garnish and Serve

    • Remove from oven and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional toppings.

    • Serve warm with nori sheets. Scoop a portion onto a piece of nori, roll, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for the best flavor, but canned salmon works too.

  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less sriracha.

  • Experiment with toppings like tobiko (fish roe) or crispy onions for extra crunch.

  • Make ahead and refrigerate; just add a few minutes to the baking time when reheating.
