Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Begin by removing the skin from the salmon and cutting it into 1-inch cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced salmon with teriyaki sauce and kosher salt. Give it a gentle toss to ensure each piece is well-coated. Set this mixture aside for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • While the salmon is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small baking dish, press the cooked sushi rice firmly into an even layer, creating a flat base. Evenly distribute the salmon mixture over top, ensuring it covers the rice completely. Sprinkle garlic powder and brown sugar over the salmon for added flavor.
  • Set your oven to high broil and place the baking dish on the top rack. Broil for approximately 6 minutes, keeping a close eye on it. The salmon should be beautifully caramelized and opaque when ready.
  • Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let it sit. Layer the bake with cubed avocado, drizzle spicy mayo across the top, followed by a sprinkle of furikake, crispy fried onion bits, and freshly chopped scallions.
  • Serve the dish hot to preserve its delightful textures and flavors. Enjoy your comforting Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bake with loved ones!
