Description

A delightful twist on traditional sushi, combining baked comfort with the rich flavors of salmon and melting cheese.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 12 oz skinless salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 sheets roasted seaweed (nori), cut into small squares
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, combine the cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, then press evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, mix the flaked salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil until fully combined.
  4. Spread the salmon mixture over the rice layer and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve with roasted seaweed squares.

Notes

For best results, use day-old sushi rice for optimal texture and adjust the Sriracha according to your heat preference.
