Ingredients

For Rice

  • 2 ½ cups cooked sushi rice
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar

For salmon mixture

  • 8 oz skinless salmon chopped into bite-sized
  • 8 oz imitation crab chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons furikake seasonings

For spicy mayo

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • ½ lime juice

Toppings

  • 1 medium avocado thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons furikake seasonings
  • 2 whole nori sheets cut into squares, to serve
  • Chopped green onions to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 square pan with oil and set it aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cooked sushi rice and rice vinegar. Mix well and set it aside.
  • In another medium bowl, combine salmon, imitation crab, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce. Mix well and set it aside.
  • Transfer the rice mixture to the prepared square pan and press it firmly to form a uniform layer.
  • Sprinkle the furikake seasonings evenly over the rice layer.
  • Spread the salmon mixture over the rice, forming a uniform layer. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
  • Once done, allow the baked sushi to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the spicy mayo by combining mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice in a bowl. Mix well until smooth and set it aside.
  • Arrange the avocado slices on top of the baked sushi and sprinkle with furikake seasonings. Garnish with green onions and drizzle spicy mayo on top.
  • Slice the baked sushi into equal squares and serve them on a nori sheet to enjoy.

Notes

  • Salmon: Opt for high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the Rice Well: Ensure the sushi rice is seasoned properly for an authentic taste.
  • Even Layering: Distribute ingredients evenly for a balanced bite in every serving.
  • Rice: Rinse the rice before boiling. This pulls out any extra starch, which can make the rice gummy. Let the rice cool before pressing it into the pan. It will stick together better this way.
  • Parings: Consider serving with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and wasabi for a more authentic sushi experience.
