# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse 2 cups sushi rice until water runs clear. Combine with 2 and 1/2 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes to steam.
02 -
While rice cooks, whisk together 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice. Press the seasoned rice evenly into a 9x13 inch baking dish, forming the base for your Salmon Sushi Bake | Creamy & Family Friendly Delight.
03 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake 1 and 1/2 lbs fresh salmon fillet for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky. Let cool slightly, then flake the salmon into small pieces using a fork. Discard any skin.
04 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp sriracha, 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Mix until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the flaked salmon and 2 tbsp furikake.
05 -
Spread the creamy salmon mixture evenly over the seasoned sushi rice base in the baking dish. This creates the rich, flavorful topping for your Salmon Sushi Bake | Creamy & Family Friendly Delight. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
06 -
Remove the Salmon Sushi Bake | Creamy & Family Friendly Delight from the oven. Garnish with 1/4 cup green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with 6 sheets nori (cut into strips or squares), 2 large avocados (sliced or diced), and 1 English cucumber (diced) for a fresh, customizable bite.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, consider marinating the salmon in a little soy sauce and sesame oil before baking.
