For the rice

- 2.5 cups water For cooking the rice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the salmon mixture
- 1 lb fresh salmon fillet (skinless and diced) Ensure skin is removed

Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions; typically, this involves rinsing the rice under cold water, then combining it with water in a rice cooker or pot until tender.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture.
- Spread the rice evenly at the bottom of a baking dish and let it cool slightly.
Mixing and Baking
- In another bowl, mix the diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and green onions until well combined. Adjust the spiciness to your preference.
- Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the top is slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired.
- Serve warm, scooping out the bake with a spoon, and enjoy!
