WHAT IS SUSHI BAKE?
Sushi bake is a creative take on traditional sushi, using ingredients you would typically find in a salmon roll and turn them into a warm casserole-style dish. Sushi bake typically features layers of seasoned sushi rice, a creamy seafood mixture, and a variety of toppings such as furikake, avocado, cucumber, and green onions.
I have to admit that this is NOT an authentic Japanese dish or traditional sushi recipe. I first saw a video of sushi bake on TikTok. I was hesitant at first, but after making it a few times, I have to say that I am OBSESSED. Salmon sushi bake is fun and easy to make. It is customizable and perfect for sharing with friends and family. I hope you give it a try and let me know how it turned out in the comments!

CAN I SUBSTITUE SALMON?
Yes! If you are not a fan of salmon, tuna or shrimp are great substitutions. You can also omit the salmon and add more imitation crab.
INGREDIENTS:
- Sushi Rice
- Rice Vinegar
- Sugar
- Salt
- Imitation Crab
- Salmon
- Cream Cheese
- Sriracha Mayo
- Furikake
- Sesame Seeds (optional)
- Seaweed Snack

HOW TO MAKE SALMON SUSHI BAKE:
Prepare the Rice
Cook sushi rice according to package instructions.
Then in a microwave-safe bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Microwave for about 30 sec, or until sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour the vinegar mixture into the cooked rice and gently mix until well combined. Set the rice aside.

Shred Salmon and Imitation Crab
To cook the salmon, first season with salt and pepper. You can either throw it in the air fryer and cook at 400F for 10-12 minutes, or bake it at 375F in the oven for 15-17 minutes.
Then in a large bowl, combine cooked salmon and imitation crab and shred them into pieces.

Prepare Salmon Mixture
Add Sriracha Mayo to the salmon-crab mixture. I used 1/3 cup of Lee Kum Kee’s Sriracha Mayo in this recipe. For substitution, use 1/3 cup of Kewpie Mayo and 2 tbsp of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce.

Assemble the Sushi Bake
Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare a 9×9 or 9×13 baking dish.
Transfer the cooked sushi rice to the baking dish and gently press down to flatten it out. Sprinkle a generous amount of furikake onto the rice, and top with a layer of salmon-carb mixture. Use a spatula or spoon to gently press down and smooth the surface. Bake at 400F for 10-15 minutes, until the top is slightly golden.

Add Sauce and Toppings
Once baked, remove from the oven and let is cool for a few minutes.
Top with more sriracha mayo and furikake. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Serve
Serve your salmon sushi bake warm. I recommend scooping out a spoonful of sushi bake and wrap it with seaweed snack.

Thank you for the Recipe! I made it! It was good! It was just a lot for me & my husband, I should have halved the recipe, ops 😅. Is this good the next day I’m hoping!?
★★★★
Yay, so happy to hear that you guys enjoyed the recipe! And yes, you can reheat it the next day either in the microwave or oven. Microwave for however long until the sushi rice is warm again. If you’re using the oven, reheat them at 350F for about 10-15 minutes, until the rice is warm. Hope that helps!
Absolutely love this recipe and have made it several times. Do you have e nutrition info????
This is my second time making this! It was such a success the first time that I have now been charged to make this for EVERY get together! The recipe is simple and easy to make.

Delicious. Used low fat mayo/cream cheese – real healthy protein bomb.
Should I just add more salmon if I cannot use the imitation crab?
Yea you can!

So glad to hear that!!!
Hi! Is there a alternative to use instead of cream cheese? Thanks!
Hi! Someone told me they have tried greek yogurt before, but I personally have not tried it with greek yogurt. You can also skip cream cheese, it’ll still be delicious just a little less creamy.
This came out so good. My friends and I loved it!
