  • 1 cup Jasmine rice
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Salmon Mixture Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup furikake seasoning *see recipe notes on how to make your own
  • 1 Tbs. soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 Tbs. sriracha sauce depending on how spicy you prefer things

  • Chopped avocado

Instructions
 

Make the Sushi Rice

  • Rinse the rice under cold water; drain well. Cook the rice according to package directions, usually 15-20 minutes on the stove or 3 minutes in the Instant Pot.
  • When the rice is fully cooked, gently stir in the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. Spread the warm rice into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish in an even layer; sprinkle with the furikake seasoning and set aside.

Make the Salmon Mixture

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the salmon skin-side down onto a greased, foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Using a silicone basting brush, gently brush the soy sauce over the salmon fillets.
  • Cook the salmon for 15-20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork at the thickest point. (145 degrees F. at the center)
  • Using two forks, flake the cooked salmon apart, placing it into a mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, mayo, and sriracha sauce, gently stirring until well combined.

Bake the Sushi Bake

  • Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Spread the prepared salmon mixture evenly over the rice in the 9x9-inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly throughout.
  • Let the salmon sushi bake cool slightly, then garnish with unagi sauce, cucumbers, avocado, and scallions; slice into 12 bars and serve at once, placed on top of Nori squares, if desired.
