Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

  2. 2

    Place salmon on the baking sheet; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle oil over salmon.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until salmon just starts to flake easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before breaking up into small pieces. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, combine rice, water, and remaining salt in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stir once, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and fluff with a fork.  Stir in rice vinegar and let cool.

    When salmon is cooled, add it to a bowl with crab, cream cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha, and soy sauce, and stir to combine.

  6. 6

    Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; add rice and press into an even layer. Crush nori sheets over rice and sprinkle with furikake. Spread salmon mixture over seaweed; sprinkle evenly with everything seasoning.

  7. 7

    Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until browned around the edges, about 25 minutes.

  8. 8

    Stir remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha, and lime juice together. Drizzle over casserole before serving; top with green onions and avocado.

Sushi Bake

Sushi bake is essentially a California roll casserole in which the main ingredients of the popular sushi roll are layered, then baked for an easy comfort dish. This recipe uses imitation crab, but feel free to use real crab meat, or equal amounts cooked or canned tuna or salmon. Furikake, the Japanese seasoning mix, flavors the rice, while Kewpie mayo and cream cheese bind and add richness. (Both furikake and Kewpie mayo can be found at Asian supermarkets and online.) A final drizzle of sriracha mayo brings it all to life. Once baked, everyone can assemble their own atop seaweed squares with a variety of toppings. Don’t forget a side of <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020357-tamagoyaki-japanese-rolled-omelet"><span>tamagoyaki</span></a>, and sweet and savory unagi, or eel, sauce for drizzling.

About this Recipe

Craving the irresistible flavors of sushi in a comforting, easy-to-make casserole? This Salmon Sushi Bake transforms your favorite rolls into a delicious, layered dinner, perfect for a cozy night in.

The magic lies in its perfect balance: a fluffy sushi rice base anchors a rich, creamy topping featuring tender, seasoned salmon and imitation crab, all bound together with a luscious blend of cream cheese and Kewpie mayonnaise. This dish offers all the satisfying taste of sushi without the intricate rolling.

Prepare for a delightful symphony of textures and tastes. You'll savor the tender, savory baked salmon and the mild, slightly sweet notes of surimi, enveloped in a luxurious, tangy cream cheese and Kewpie mayonnaise mixture. The seasoned sushi rice provides a comforting base, while the everything bagel seasoning adds a delightful crunch and savory depth. Finished with fresh, creamy avocado and bright green onion, each bite is a harmonious blend of richness and freshness. It’s a hearty, satisfying dinner that brings gourmet flavors to your table with minimal fuss.

For a personal touch, you can easily tailor the spice level by adjusting the amount of sriracha used in the topping. If you're looking to add an extra layer of savory, umami flavor, don't skip the optional furikake sprinkle. While the recipe calls for lime juice, a splash of rice vinegar can also brighten the flavors in a pinch.

This Salmon Sushi Bake is an ideal centerpiece for a cozy dinner. Serve it directly from the dish, allowing everyone to scoop their desired portion, perhaps with additional nori sheets on the side for wrapping up individual bites.
