Ingredients

  • 2 medium salmon filets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 Tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup furikake seasoning
  • 1/4 cup light mayo
  • 2 Tablespoons sriracha

Rice Mix

  • 3 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Toppings

  • 1 medium avocado (sliced)
  • 1/2 medium cucumber (diced)
  • 2 medium green onions (diced)
  • Nori seaweed (to taste)
  • Sesame seeds (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the salmon and rice layers.
  2. Add Salmon to Pan: Place the salmon filets on a baking sheet or pan with the skin side down for initial baking.
  3. Add Seasoning: Drizzle the salmon with tamari or soy sauce, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the fish for flavor.
  4. Bake Salmon: Bake the salmon for about 18 minutes or until it becomes flaky and cooked through.
  5. Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, light mayo, furikake seasoning, and sriracha to create a creamy, spicy sauce.
  6. Mix Salmon Into Sauce: Remove skin from the baked salmon, cut into large chunks, and gently mix into the cream cheese sauce until well combined.
  7. Season Cooked Rice: In another bowl, stir together cooked sushi rice, rice vinegar, salt, and sugar to season the rice with a slight tangy sweetness.
  8. Press Rice Into Baking Dish: Transfer the seasoned sushi rice into a 9-inch baking dish and press down firmly to create an even base layer.
  9. Press Salmon Mixture On Top: Spread and press the salmon and cream cheese mixture evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish.
  10. Bake, Then Broil: Bake the assembled dish for 12 minutes to meld flavors, then switch to broil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the top is crispy and golden brown.
  11. Add Toppings and Serve: Garnish with fresh slices of avocado, diced cucumber, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and nori seaweed before serving to add freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure sushi rice is well cooked and slightly sticky for best results in layering and pressing.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your spice preference.
  • You can substitute salmon with other fish or cooked shrimp if desired.
  • Use furikake seasoning with or without seaweed depending on your taste or dietary needs.
  • Serve immediately after broiling to enjoy the crispy top combined with fresh toppings.
