Why This Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake Works

This recipe turns classic sushi ingredients into a bubbly, oven-baked dish that requires no rolling or special tools. The creamy salmon mixture blends beautifully with sushi rice and furikake. Drizzles of eel sauce and sriracha add the perfect mix of sweet heat. The broiled topping becomes golden and slightly crisp, creating an amazing contrast to the soft rice. Served with roasted seaweed, cucumber, or avocado, it’s a meal that satisfies both sushi lovers and casserole fans.

Ingredients That Build Big Flavor

The base of this dish starts with warm cooked sushi rice. A mix of salmon, cream cheese, Japanese mayo, and sriracha creates a spicy, creamy topping. Furikake adds savory crunch, while eel sauce drizzles in sweetness. Fresh green onions brighten the final dish. You can also season the rice with vinegar, sugar, and salt for extra sushi flavor. With simple ingredients, you get a rich and layered taste in every bite.

How to Make Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake

Bake the salmon until tender and flaky. Mix it with mayo, cream cheese, and sriracha. Layer cooked rice in a casserole dish, sprinkle furikake, then spread the salmon mixture over the top. Add generous drizzles of mayo, sriracha, and eel sauce. Bake until hot, then broil for a toasty finish. Garnish with green onions and serve with seaweed, sliced cucumbers, avocado, and extra sauce. It’s quick, comforting, and absolutely delicious.

Serving Suggestions

Scoop a warm portion onto roasted seaweed for a handheld bite. Add cucumber or avocado for freshness. Dip into eel sauce or spicy mayo for extra richness. This dish reheats beautifully, making it perfect for leftovers or next-day lunches.
