  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves six

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups dry sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 lb salmon fillet
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 oz imitation crab meat (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Japanese mayonnaise
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha
  • 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp furikake
  • Spicy mayo (mayonnaise + sriracha + lime juice)
  • Chopped green onion
  • Black and white sesame seeds
  • Roasted seaweed
  • English cucumber (sliced)
  • Avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing the dry sushi rice. Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and run it under cold water for about 1 minute while mixing it around gently with a spoon.
  2. Transfer the rinsed rice to your rice cooker. Add water and turn on the cooker. Once done, spread the rice onto a rimmed baking sheet. Pour in 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar and fold it in gently using a rice paddle. Allow it to cool.
  3. Season your salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15-20 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Once cooled, flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl. Add chopped imitation crab meat, Japanese mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, sriracha, and low sodium soy sauce. Mix everything together well until combined.
  5. Spread cooled sushi rice evenly into your baking dish and lightly compress it. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of furikake over the top. Spread the spicy salmon mixture over the rice layer.
  6. Broil in your oven for about 4 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy on top.
  7. Once done, drizzle spicy mayonnaise and sriracha on top. Garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds before serving alongside roasted seaweed, unagi sauce, cucumber slices, and avocado slices.
