# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse 2 cups uncooked sushi rice until water runs clear. Combine rice with 2 1/2 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
02 -
While the rice is warm, gently fold in 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Mix until well combined. This forms the essential pillowy foundation for your Salmon Sushi Bake | Creamy & Family-Friendly Delight.
03 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place 1 1/2 lbs skinless salmon fillet on a baking sheet. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and easily flaked.
04 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup full-fat mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sriracha, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil until smooth. This creates the velvety umami drizzle for your Salmon Sushi Bake | Creamy & Family-Friendly Delight.
05 -
Flake the cooked salmon into a large bowl. Add 3/4 of the creamy sauce mixture and 2 thinly sliced green onions. Gently combine. Press the seasoned sushi rice evenly into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the salmon mixture over the rice.
06 -
Drizzle the remaining creamy sauce over the salmon layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden. This final bake brings together all the delicious flavors of your Salmon Sushi Bake | Creamy & Family-Friendly Delight.
07 -
Remove from oven. Garnish generously with 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1/4 cup furikake seasoning, and the remaining 2 thinly sliced green onions. Serve warm with 2 sheets nori (cut into strips) and 1 ripe diced avocado.
# Notes:

For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the salmon before baking.
