Ingredients

  • 2 salmon filets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons mayo divided
  • 1 cup sushi rice rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce
  • ½ tablespoon white sesame seeds
  • ½ tablespoon black sesame seeds
  • 6 green onions chopped
  • 10 nori sheets for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the salmon on the sheet tray, and coat with the oil. Bake for 15 minutes, until flaky. Remove from the oven, and shred it with a fork.
  • Place the salmon in a bowl with the soy sauce and 2 tablespoons mayo. Combine well, then set aside.
  • While the salmon bakes, prepare the rice. Bring the rinsed rice and water to a boil in a saucepan, then lower the heat to low, and cover. Cook until fluffy, and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
  • Whisk the vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl. Add the cooked rice and everything bagel seasoning, and combine.
  • Press the seasoned rice into a 9-x11-inch or smaller baking dish. Press the saucy salmon on top of the rice. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons mayo and sriracha on top to coat. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the sushi bake from the oven, and sprinkle with chopped scallions. Serve with sheets of nori.
