Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by washing 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with 1 ¼ cups of water. Once cooked, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a greased baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season. Bake for 12–15 minutes, then flake.
Combine flaked salmon with imitation crab, Kewpie mayo, cream cheese, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Fold in green onions.
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C). Spread the sushi rice in a greased casserole dish, cover with furikake, then layer crab and salmon mixture.
Bake for 10–15 minutes until golden brown. Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness.
Drizzle with sriracha mayo and unagi sauce. Serve warm with cucumbers, avocado, and seaweed snacks.
