Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Mixture

  • 8 oz Salmon fillet (sockeye or Atlantic), skin removed and cut into 1″ cubes
  • 1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce (Japanese BBQ sauce as alternative)
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt (table salt can be substituted)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder (or fresh minced garlic)

Base Layer

  • 2 cups Cooked Sushi Rice (short-grain rice or jasmine rice as substitute)

Toppings

  • 1 medium Avocado, cubed (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Spicy Mayo (mayonnaise mixed with sriracha)
  • 1 tbsp Furikake (or crushed nori/sesame seeds)
  • 1/4 cup Crispy Fried Onion Bits (panko breadcrumbs as alternative)
  • 2 tbsp Scallions, finely diced (chives for milder flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Salmon: Remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into 1-inch cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon cubes with teriyaki sauce and kosher salt. Mix gently and set aside to let the flavors meld together.
  2. Build the Bake: Firmly press the cooked sushi rice into the bottom of a small baking dish to form a flat, even base layer. Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice. Sprinkle garlic powder and brown sugar evenly over the salmon layer for enhanced flavor and caramelization.
  3. Broil: Preheat your broiler on high. Place the baking dish on the top rack of your oven and broil for approximately 6 minutes, or until the salmon is nicely caramelized and cooked through. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  4. Add Toppings: Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Evenly top the baked salmon with cubed avocado, drizzle with spicy mayo, then sprinkle furikake, crispy fried onions, and finely diced scallions on top for a vibrant, flavorful finish.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bake hot from the oven to fully enjoy the rich combination of textures and flavors, making it perfect for a comforting meal or entertaining guests.

Notes

  • Brown sugar can be omitted if you prefer a less sweet dish.
  • You can substitute Japanese BBQ sauce if teriyaki sauce is unavailable.
  • Furikake can be replaced with crushed nori or sesame seeds for similar flavor and crunch.
  • Use short-grain rice or jasmine rice if sushi rice is not available; sushi rice gives the best sticky texture.
  • Spicy mayo is made by mixing mayonnaise with sriracha to taste, adjust heat accordingly.
  • Keep an eye on the broiler to avoid overcooking or burning the salmon.
  • Serve immediately after broiling and adding toppings for best texture and freshness.
