Ingredients
Gathering the right ingredients is key to creating a dish that’s both flavorful and satisfying. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and cooled
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 sheet of nori, cut into small strips
- Optional: 1 tablespoon furikake for garnish
Feel free to substitute the salmon with cooked crab or even tofu for a vegetarian option. The mayonnaise can be swapped for a vegan alternative if needed, without compromising on taste.
Instructions
The process of preparing this dish is as enjoyable as the end result. Here’s how you can bring it to life:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low until the sugar dissolves. Mix this with the cooked sushi rice.
- Spread the seasoned rice evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the salmon mixture over the rice in the baking dish.
- Top with avocado slices, green onions, sesame seeds, and nori strips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until everything is heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with furikake if desired before serving.
As my abuela taught me, cooking is as much about intuition as it is about following recipes. Feel free to adjust the spice level or add your favorite ingredients to make this dish truly your own.
