Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 cups sticky rice
- 1½ pounds salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons furikake
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
- 1 avocado sliced
- ¼ cup green onions sliced
- optional sushi ginger
- 2 tablespoons kewpie mayo sub spicy mayo
- garnish: sesame seeds or drizzle of Sriracha optional
Serving Suggestion:
- nori seaweed sheets cut into 2 inch x 2 inch pieces
- soy sauce sub Tamari for gluten-free
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 475℉.
- Bake Rice: In a small glass measuring cup, whisk together ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Spread out 5 cups sticky rice into a nonstick quarter baking sheet. Pour rice vinegar mixture evenly over top. Use wet fingers to press down rice into pan. Place in oven, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes. Remove and let cool at room temperature.
- Bake Salmon: Meanwhile, prep 1½ pounds salmon fillets by removing the skin and cutting into approx. 1 inch cubes. Once rice has cooled, sprinkle 2 tablespoons furikake evenly over top. Then spread out salmon over top and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Reduce oven to 400℉. Place back in the oven to let the salmon cook, 12-15 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Toppings: Once the salmon sushi bake has cooled a bit, spread out avocado slices, green onions, and sushi ginger over top. Drizzle with kewpie mayo (or spicy mayo) and garnish with sesame seeds.
- Serve: Cut into squares and serve on small pieces of nori. Feel free to drizzle with soy sauce (or dip in soy sauce) and/or sriracha before eating.
Notes
- Gluten-Free: for serving use Tamari instead of soy sauce.
