Ingredients

For the sushi bake:

  • 3/4 cup sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned vinegar for sushi
  • 12 ounces salmon skinless
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to season
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup Kewpie mayo
  • 3 teaspoons Sriracha
  • 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Furikake
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 2 sheets nori toasted and cut into squares

For the edamame:

  • 12 ounces frozen edamame in pods
  • 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sambal oelek or Sriracha
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

For the sushi bake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F(175°C).
  • Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Cool slightly. Add the seasoned vinegar to the rice and gently stir it in (so the rice doesn’t become mushy).
  • While the rice cooks, season the salmon and cook it in the oven for 6 minutes. It will not yet be fully cooked. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, mix the Kewpie, Sriracha, and soy sauce. Reserve half. I put this in a squeeze bottle to decorate the top of the sushi.
  • Combine the salmon, cream cheese, remaining half of the Kewpie sauce, and half the green onions. Fold it together so the salmon doesn’t get fully shredded.
  • Pack the rice evenly into a baking dish. Season with Furikake. Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice. Season with more Furikake.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Garnish with avocado, cucumber, the remaining green onions, and drizzle the remaining sauce over the top. Cut and serve with toasted nori.

For the edamame:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the edamame pods and boil for 2 minutes. Remove promptly and drain. Then set the pods on a paper towel to drain off any remaining water.
  • In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, moving constantly in the pan to avoid burning.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, sambal oelek, sesame oil, and honey. Stir and simmer for 1 minute.
  • Put the edamame in a bowl. Pour on the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Serve garnished with sesame seeds.
