Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make this delicious baked sushi dish:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear, then combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
  4. When the rice is done, transfer it to a large bowl and slowly stir in the vinegar mixture until well combined.
  5. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay down a sheet of seaweed, then add a layer of rice on top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  6. Add a layer of sliced salmon and imitation crab on top of the rice.
  7. Add another layer of rice on top of the salmon and imitation crab, then add a layer of sliced avocado.
  8. Continue layering the ingredients until you've used up all the rice, salmon, imitation crab, and avocado. Top with one more sheet of seaweed.
  9. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Spread the mixture over the top of the sushi, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing into pieces and serving.

  • For best results, use fresh salmon and imitation crab meat.
  • When layering the ingredients, be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges to allow the sushi to seal properly.
  • When spreading the mayonnaise and sriracha mixture on top, be sure to spread it evenly over the entire surface to ensure even flavor distribution.
