Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 250g (about 8 oz) fresh salmon, diced
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Nori (seaweed) sheets, for serving
- Optional toppings: avocado slices, cucumber, furikake seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Add to warm cooked rice and mix gently to combine. Spread evenly into the bottom of a lightly greased baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cream cheese until well mixed.
- Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and top with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Drizzle with extra sriracha mayo or unagi sauce, if desired.
- Serve warm by scooping portions onto nori sheets and wrapping like sushi bites.
Notes
- Use imitation crab or cooked shrimp instead of salmon for variety.
- For extra crispiness, broil the top for 1–2 minutes before serving.
- Make it spicier by adding more sriracha or chili oil to the salmon mix.
