Equipment

  • 1 Baking tray (5x7 or similar size)

Ingredients

Salmon Mixture

  • 4 oz Salmon
  • 1 tablespoon Kewpie Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Unagi Sauce
  • Scallions
  • 1 teaspoon Togorashi (Optional)

Sushi Rice

  • ¼ cup Sushi rice
  • 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Sugar
  • Furikake seasoning

Garnishes and Other

  • Avocado (For garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the rice – Start by cooking the rice in the rice cooker according to the package instructions. 
  • Preheat the oven – Turn the oven to 400F and let it preheat while you’re preparing the baking dish.
  • Cut the salmon and mix with the sauce – In a large bowl, add the kewpie mayo, unagi sauce, togarashi, and scallions. Mix together until well combined. Cut the salmon into small, bite-sized pieces and mix them together in the sauce. 
  • Season the rice – After the rice is done cooking, mix the rice vinegar and sugar together to make the vinegar mixture, then mix throughout the cooked rice. Add the seasoned sushi rice into a layer at the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Add the furikake layer – Sprinkle a layer of furikake on top of the rice in the baking dish. 
  • Add the salmon mixture – Add the salmon mixture on top of the rice and set in the oven. Let bake for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is thoroughly cooked. 
  • Garnish and serve – Garnish with additional scallions, kewpie mayo, unagi sauce, furikake, togarashi, and bonito flakes. Top with avocado and jalapeno if desired, and serve with nori (seaweed) sheets.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
Ways to serve – You can serve the sushi bake wrapped in a roasted seaweed sheet. Scoop some of the sushi bake onto the nori sheets and consume like a handroll or wrap. 
Nori Sheets – Nori sheets typically come in giant paper-like sheets. Cut down the sheets into small pieces before serving. 
Substitutions and Variations
Switch up the protein – Unagi or crab meat would also go deliciously with this recipe.
Eat in casserole form – Ditch the nori sheets and enjoy this as its standalone casserole dish.
Use traditional Western mayo – If you don’t have kewpie mayo, you can also use traditional mayonnaise.
