Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish.
- Rinse sushi rice until water runs clear. Cook with water in a rice cooker or on the stove.
- In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for 30 seconds to dissolve. Mix into cooked rice and let cool slightly.
- Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Flake the salmon with a fork and place in a large bowl. Add Kewpie mayo, Sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.
- Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle furikake over the rice.
- Evenly spread the salmon mixture on top of the rice layer.
- Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes until heated through and slightly golden.
- Top with sliced avocado, green onions, nori strips, sesame seeds, and optional drizzles of mayo and Sriracha.
- Serve warm with seaweed snacks or roasted nori sheets for scooping.
Notes
- Use leftover cooked salmon to save time.
- Adjust Sriracha to control the spice level.
- Add cream cheese to the salmon mix for extra creaminess.
- Best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
