Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake
  1. Start by rinsing sushi rice under cold water until it runs clear. Cook the rinsed rice according to your rice cooker instructions or over the stove using 2 cups of water.
  2. Allow the rice to cool slightly, then mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, and fold into the rice.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the fresh salmon fillet brushed with soy sauce for about 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
  4. In a greased baking dish, spread the seasoned sushi rice, layer the flaked salmon, and drizzle the spicy mayo mix over the salmon.
  5. Broil the assembled dish for 3-5 minutes until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm.
