Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rinsed rice in a rice cooker or pot with 1 cup of water for about 20 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons of seasoned rice vinegar once cooked.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon fillet in a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes until flaked easily.
  3. Flake the salmon into a bowl and mix with ¼ cup of mayonnaise, 2-3 tablespoons of sriracha sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
  4. In a baking dish, spread the cooked sushi rice at the bottom. Layer the spicy salmon mixture over the rice.
  5. Bake the assembled dish for an additional 10-15 minutes until slightly golden.
  6. Remove from the oven, cool slightly, and garnish with avocado and green onions. Serve with nori strips.
