Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked sushi rice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 oz skinless salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 sheets roasted seaweed (nori), cut into small squares
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the sushi rice base by gently combining cooked sushi rice with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Fold until evenly coated and set aside to cool.
Craft the spicy salmon topping by mixing cooked and flaked salmon with mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread the prepared sushi rice evenly across the bottom, pressing down gently.
Spoon the spicy salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the salmon, followed by the cut pieces of roasted seaweed.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
