### How to Make Seared Salmon Sushi Bake

#### 1. **Prepare the Sushi Rice**

Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. While warm, season with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Spread the rice evenly in a greased casserole dish.

#### 2. **Make the Spicy Mayo Sauce**

Mix mayonnaise with sriracha (adjust to your heat preference) and a splash of soy sauce. Spread this sauce evenly over the rice layer.

#### 3. **Prepare the Salmon**

Season the salmon with soy sauce and sesame oil. Sear the fillet in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until just cooked but still tender. Flake the salmon into chunks.

#### 4. **Assemble the Bake**

Distribute the seared salmon evenly over the mayo-coated rice. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top.

#### 5. **Bake**

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes, until heated through and the top is slightly golden.

#### 6. **Serve**

Serve warm with nori sheets for scooping. Add extra soy sauce or wasabi if desired.

### Tips for the Best Sushi Bake

* Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor.
* Don’t overcook the salmon; it should remain moist and flaky.
* Customize toppings: avocado slices, cucumber, tobiko, or pickled ginger add great flavor and texture.
* Serve immediately for the best experience — leftovers are delicious but the crispy top is best fresh.
