Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water is clear. Cook the rice with 2.5 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Let sit covered for 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix warm rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Once the sushi rice has cooled slightly, fold this mixture into the rice and spread in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the salmon mixture over the rice in the baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  5. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with green onions, nori, and tobiko. Serve warm.

Notes

Rinse sushi rice until the water runs clear to avoid a gummy texture. Adjust spice level based on preference. Monitor baking time for a golden topping. Use high-quality, fresh salmon for best results.
