Salmon Layer
- 1 lb fresh salmon fillet
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
Rice Layer
- 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and cooled
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
Spicy Mayo Topping
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp lime juice
- Prepare the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. While warm, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a bowl, flake the salmon fillet and combine with soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Mix well to coat evenly.
- Make Spicy Mayo: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.
- Layer the Bake: In a baking dish, spread the sushi rice in an even layer. Top the rice with the spicy salmon mixture, spreading it evenly. Finally, drizzle the spicy mayo over the top, covering the surface.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled dish for 15-20 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the spicy mayo is slightly browned and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm, scooping out portions like a casserole.
