Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Whisk together 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Fold into the cooked rice and spread into a greased baking dish.
  4. Flake 1 pound of fresh salmon into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix with 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 2 chopped green onions.
  5. Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the sushi rice in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and the salmon is opaque.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with sliced green onions and optional nori. Serve warm.
