Ingredients
  

For the sushi base
  • 2 cups Sushi rice This forms the base of the bake and provides a sticky texture.
  • 1/4 cup Rice vinegar It adds a tangy flavor to the sushi rice.
  • 2 tbsp Sugar This balances the acidity of the rice vinegar.
  • 1 tsp Salt It enhances the overall flavor of the rice.
For the salmon mixture
  • 1 lb Fresh salmon, diced Use fresh, diced salmon for the best results.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise This adds creaminess to the salmon mixture.
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce Adjust the spice level to your taste.
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil It adds a nutty flavor to the mix.
  • 2 scallions Green onions, sliced For a fresh and crispy topping.
For garnishing
  • 4 sheets Nori strips These add a traditional sushi touch.
  • 1/4 cup Tobiko Optional for garnish; it gives a crunchy texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it with water in a rice cooker or pot until tender.
  3. In a bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture.
  4. Spread the rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and let it cool slightly.
  5. In another bowl, mix diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Adjust the spiciness to your preference.
  6. Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice in the baking dish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden.

Notes

Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture. Adjust the spiciness with Sriracha to suit your preference. Let the rice cool slightly to avoid cooking the salmon. Use a wide baking dish for even cooking and nice presentation.
