This recipe layers seasoned sushi rice with a creamy salmon mixture and bakes it to golden perfection, topped with fresh avocado, nori strips, and sesame seeds. It’s an easy-to-make, flavorful alternative to rolling sushi that can be enjoyed by sushi lovers looking for a simple yet unique meal.

Ingredients

Sushi Rice:

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Salmon Mixture:

  • 6 ounces cooked or baked salmon, flaked
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 sheet nori, cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook it according to package instructions using a stovetop or rice cooker. While the rice is still warm, gently stir in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully incorporated. Spread the rice out to cool to room temperature.
  2. Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine flaked cooked salmon, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sriracha (if using). Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring the flavors are well blended.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the cooled sushi rice evenly into the bottom of a greased baking dish. Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer. Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly bubbly.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Top with sliced avocado, strips of nori, sesame seeds, and thinly sliced green onions for added texture and flavor. Serve alongside soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for a complete sushi experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality cooked salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your spice preference or omit for a milder taste.
  • Press the sushi rice firmly into the baking dish to help it hold together during baking.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute cream cheese and mayonnaise with vegan alternatives.
  • Serve immediately after assembling for best texture but leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated gently.
