For the sushi bake

2 cups sushi rice Rinsed until water runs clear.
2.5 cups water For cooking the sushi rice.
1 pound salmon fillet Seasoned with salt before baking.
2 tablespoons mayonnaise Best to use Japanese mayonnaise like Kewpie for flavor.
1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust for spice preference.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with 2 1/2 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot according to package instructions.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the salmon by placing the salmon fillet on a baking sheet, seasoning with salt, and baking in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Once the salmon is cooked, flake it and combine it with the mayo mixture.
In a baking dish, layer the cooked rice at the bottom, then spread the salmon mixture on top evenly.

Baking

Bake in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Serving

Serve warm, topped with avocado slices, chopped green onions, nori strips, and sesame seeds.

Notes

For best results, rinse the rice to achieve fluffiness and check the salmon periodically to avoid overcooking. Let the bake cool slightly before serving to enhance flavors. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat before serving.
