Description
A cozy casserole that combines the creaminess of salmon with a spicy kick, mimicking the delicious flavors of sushi in a simple, baked format.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 pound salmon filet, cooked and flaked
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 sheet nori (seaweed), for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
- In a bowl, mix the flaked salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, green onions, cucumber, and cream cheese.
- Layer half of the rice in a baking dish, then add the salmon mixture on top. Finish with the remaining rice layered on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through.
- Serve hot with crispy nori on the side.
Notes
For a flavorful twist, consider adding more vegetables like shredded carrots or bell peppers, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra aroma.
