12 oz cooked salmon (about 2 fillets), flaked

1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon green onions, finely sliced (plus extra for garnish)
1 tablespoon furikake seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Roasted seaweed (nori) sheets or snack-size nori squares, for serving
Cucumber and avocado slices, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Mix cooked sushi rice with seasoned rice vinegar and press evenly into the bottom of the baking dish to form a base.
- In a bowl, combine flaked salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, cream cheese, sesame oil, and green onions until creamy and smooth.
- Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer.
- Sprinkle furikake seasoning over the top and add shredded mozzarella if desired.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until heated through and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes. Garnish with extra green onions.
- Serve warm by scooping portions onto roasted nori sheets and topping with cucumber or avocado slices if desired.
Notes
Use short-grain sushi rice for best texture and stickiness.
Substitute cooked crab, tuna, or tofu for salmon.
Adjust sriracha amount to control spice level.
Skip mozzarella and cream cheese for a dairy-free version.
Add a drizzle of unagi (eel) sauce or spicy mayo before baking for extra flavor.
