Instructions

1. Cook the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the short‑grain sushi rice until the water runs clear, then cook it in a rice cooker or saucepan with the appropriate amount of water. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

2. Prepare the Salmon

   If using raw salmon, bake at 375°F for 10‑12 minutes until just cooked through, then flake into bite‑size pieces. If using pre‑cooked or canned salmon, simply drain and flake.

4. Assemble the Bake

   Spread the cooked sushi rice evenly in the bottom of a 9x13‑inch baking dish. Layer the spicy salmon mixture over the rice. Drizzle an additional tablespoon of Sriracha and the eel sauce on top, then sprinkle the nori strips evenly.
