Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked sushi rice, seasoned
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, cooked and flaked
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 ounces imitation crab meat, shredded
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for topping
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for topping
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flaked cooked salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the creamy spicy salmon topping.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the shredded imitation crab meat with the softened cream cheese until combined.
  4. Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This forms your sushi rice layers recipe base.
  5. Spread the cream cheese and crab mixture evenly over the rice layer.
  6. Spoon the spicy salmon mixture over the crab layer, spreading it out gently.
  7. If using, sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top layer.
  8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the topping is heated through and lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  10. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. This is a great make ahead sushi casserole option.

Notes

  • For a crispier topping, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute real crab meat for imitation crab if desired.
  • If you prefer a lower carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of sushi rice.
