Description

A comforting and easy-to-make dish that offers all the flavors of sushi without the hassle of rolling. Perfect for potlucks or gatherings!


Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked short-grain rice (sushi rice recommended)
  • 1 lb salmon, boneless/skinless
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • ½ cup Japanese mayo (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 2 Tbsp sriracha (plus extra for drizzling)
  • ½ cup eel sauce (use some for drizzling + the rest for serving)
  • ¼ cup furikake
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Optional sushi rice seasoning: 2 tsp rice vinegar, ¼ tsp sugar, ¼ tsp salt
  • Serve-with toppings: roasted seaweed snacks / nori sheets, sliced cucumber, sliced avocado, extra spicy mayo, extra eel sauce


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Season salmon lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove salmon and raise oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix salmon, Japanese mayo, cream cheese, and sriracha until combined.
  3. In a 9×13 dish, spread warm rice evenly, sprinkle furikake, then spread the salmon mixture. Drizzle with mayo, sriracha, and some eel sauce. Top with more furikake.
  4. Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes, then broil for 3 minutes until golden and toasty.
  5. Sprinkle with green onions and serve with seaweed, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo, and extra eel sauce.

Notes

For a creamier texture, substitute additional Japanese mayo in place of cream cheese. Eel sauce is optional but adds a sweet-salty flavor. Watch closely while broiling to prevent burning.
