A cozy, no-roll twist on traditional sushi, this Salmon Sushi Bake features layers of seasoned rice and creamy salmon, baked to perfection and served with nori sheets for a fun, shareable meal. It’s easy, flavorful, and perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked short-grain or sushi rice
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked salmon (baked, grilled, or canned), flaked
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup Japanese mayonnaise (or regular mayo)
  • 1–2 tsp sriracha (optional, for spice)
  • 2–3 tbsp furikake seasoning
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Nori sheets (to serve)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, season warm rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, mix flaked salmon with cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sriracha until creamy.
  4. Spread the salmon mixture over the rice layer. Sprinkle generously with furikake seasoning.
  5. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until heated through and slightly golden on top.
  6. Drizzle with extra mayo or sriracha and garnish with chopped green onions.
  7. Serve warm with nori sheets for scooping or wrapping.

Notes

  • Use canned salmon for convenience—drain well before using.
  • Swap salmon for imitation crab to make a California roll-style bake.
  • Add fresh toppings like avocado or cucumber after baking for extra texture.
  • Furikake can be replaced with toasted sesame seeds and crushed seaweed snacks.
  • Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate—bake just before serving.
