- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces cooked or canned salmon
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons furikake seasoning
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
- Roasted seaweed sheets for serving
- Avocado slices for garnish
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9 by 9 inch baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the warm cooked sushi rice, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined and the rice is slightly sticky and glossy.
Spread the seasoned rice evenly into the prepared baking dish and gently press it down with a spoon to create a firm base.
In another bowl, combine the cooked flaked salmon, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until smooth and combined.
Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer in the dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the top with furikake seasoning for that signature flavor and crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions and avocado slices.
Serve warm with seaweed sheets. Scoop a bit of the bake onto a sheet and enjoy like a mini taco.
