Instructions
- Cook the Sushi Rice: Wash one cup of sushi rice until the water runs through it comes out clean. Drain the water and place the sushi rice in a rice cooker. Add one and a quarter cups of water. Cover the rice cooker and cook the sushi rice.
- Prepare the Sushi Rice: Make the sushi vinegar. Sushi vinegar is prepared by mixing a quarter cup of rice vinegar, one tablespoon of sugar, and one-fourth teaspoon of salt. Add the cooked sushi rice to a large bowl. Drizzle the sushi vinegar over the cooked rice and mix well.
- Prepare the Salmon. Coat the salmon with olive oil. Season the salmon with black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Ensure that the salmon is seasoned on all sides. After coating, place the salmon on a baking sheet, move the tray straight to the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and then bake it for 10-15 minutes. After baking the salmon, put it in a bowl and shred it with a knife. After the salmon, shred the imitation crab, chop it into small pieces, and set aside.
- Combine Salmon and Crab. Next, add salmon and imitation crab, 2 oz of cream cheese, a quarter cup of kewpie mayonnaise, one tablespoon of sriracha, and half a cup of green onions. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble and Bake. In a baking dish, add the short-grain sushi rice we prepared before. Spread the rice and flatten it, then add furikake seasoning. Add the crab and salmon mixture. Make sure to spread it evenly on the sushi rice. Bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
- Toppings. We can add toppings once the baked salmon sushi has finished cooking in the oven. First, add a drizzle of sriracha. Next, add a drizzle of spicy mayonnaise. Then add some green onions. Now add a sprinkle of black sesame seeds and furikake seasonings. Finally, add some slices of avocado. And our baked salmon sushi is ready. The salmon sushi baked is exceptionally delicious.
- Serve. Serve this with roasted nori sheets. When eating this, take a scoop of baked salmon sushi and place it on a piece of dried seaweed to make it taste better. Enjoy!
