# Instructions:
01 -
Cook 2 cups uncooked sushi rice according to package directions. While hot, transfer to a large bowl and gently fold in 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
02 -
Flake 1 1/2 lbs skinless salmon fillets into a separate bowl. Add 3/4 cup Japanese mayonnaise, 3 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp sriracha, and 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce. Mix until well combined and creamy. This is key for your Salmon Sushi Bake: Creamy & Family-Friendly Delight.
03 -
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Press the seasoned sushi rice evenly into the bottom of the dish, forming a firm and compact base. This creates the essential foundation for your Salmon Sushi Bake: Creamy & Family-Friendly Delight.
04 -
Spread the creamy salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish, ensuring it covers the rice completely from edge to edge. Sprinkle 2 tbsp furikake over the salmon layer for an extra burst of umami flavor.
05 -
Bake the Salmon Sushi Bake: Creamy & Family-Friendly Delight in the preheated 375°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and bubbly. The salmon should be cooked through and the cheese melted.
06 -
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with 1/4 cup sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm with sliced 1 large avocado and 6 sheets roasted seaweed snacks for scooping.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra kick, drizzle a little more sriracha or a touch of spicy mayo over individual servings.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
03 -
If you don't have sushi rice, short-grain white rice can be used as a substitute, though the texture may be slightly different.
04 -
Consider adding a sprinkle of crispy fried onions or a side of pickled ginger for additional texture and flavor.
