Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Salmon Sushi Bake
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with water in a rice cooker, and cook according to the machine's instructions. Let it steam for an additional 10 minutes once done.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cube the salmon filet into bite-sized pieces, and mix it in a bowl with Kewpie mayo, cream cheese, sriracha, soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Stir until well-combined and creamy. Cover and refrigerate.
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust sriracha according to taste and chill.
- Grease a 9x13 baking dish with oil. Spread the cooked sushi rice evenly across the bottom, pressing down gently. Layer the chilled salmon mixture over the rice.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the top is golden brown. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Drizzle the unagi sauce and spicy mayo over the top. Garnish with fresh avocado slices, diced cucumber, sesame seeds, and additional green onions.
- Serve the bake alongside sheets of nori, allowing everyone to wrap bites.
