Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon Mixture

  • 8 oz Salmon (Try sockeye or Atlantic salmon for variety)
  • 1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce (Japanese BBQ sauce is a suitable alternative)
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar (Can be omitted for a less sweet flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt (Table salt can be used in a pinch)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder (Fresh minced garlic works wonderfully too)

For the Base Layer

  • 2 cups Cooked Sushi Rice (Substitute with short-grain rice or jasmine rice if needed)

For the Toppings

  • 1 medium Avocado (Feel free to skip it for a simpler flavor)
  • 2 tbsp Spicy Mayo (Mix mayonnaise with sriracha for an easy homemade version)
  • 1 tbsp Furikake (Crushed nori or sesame seeds can be used instead)
  • 1/4 cup Crispy Fried Onion Bits (Panko breadcrumbs are a great swap if desired)
  • 2 tbsp Scallions (Chives can be used for a milder option)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Salmon: Start by removing the skin from your salmon and cutting it into 1-inch cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon with teriyaki sauce and kosher salt; set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Build the Bake: Grab a small baking dish and firmly press the cooked sushi rice to form a flat base. Top it with the salmon mixture, ensuring even coverage, and sprinkle garlic powder and brown sugar on top for added flavor.
  3. Broil: Preheat your broiler to high. Place the baking dish on the top rack and broil for about 6 minutes, or until the salmon is beautifully caramelized and cooked through.
  4. Add Toppings: Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Top the baked salmon with cubed avocado, a drizzle of spicy mayo, a sprinkle of furikake, crispy fried onions, and finely diced scallions for a colorful finish.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bake hot from the oven to fully enjoy the delicious textures and flavors that come together in this dish.
