Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment.
  2. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until clear. In a pot, combine rice with water, bring to boil, then simmer for 18-20 minutes until tender.
  3. Fluff the rice and let cool. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl, then fold into warm rice.
  4. Spread the seasoned rice into the bottom of a greased baking dish, pressing down gently.
  5. In a bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Add green onions if desired.
  6. Spread the salmon mixture over the rice layer, pressing down lightly to secure it.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked and slightly golden. Watch to prevent over-browning.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with nori and tobiko. Serve warm with pickled ginger and soy sauce.
