Easy Salmon Sushi Bake​

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease an 8×8 baking dish.​
2. Add the cooked sushi rice to a bowl and add the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix gently to combine, until the rice feels slightly sticky and cohesive. Set aside.​
3. In a small bowl, add the Umami Joy Sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Whisk well.​
4. Place the salmon on top of the lined baking sheet. Pour the mixture over the salmon, using a brush to make sure the salmon is fully coated.​
5. Bake the salmon 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.​
6. Remove the skin from the salmon and add it to a bowl. Using a fork, gently flake the salmon. Add the sriracha mayo and gently toss to combine. Set aside.​
7. Add the sushi rice to the greased baking dish, using a spatula to firmly press the rice together evenly on the bottom of the dish. Add the salmon mixture and spread evenly.​
8. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2 minutes. ​
9. Top with generous drizzles of Takumi and sriracha mayo. Add sliced avocado, furikake, and scallions. Cut into slices and serve. ​

Optional: if you have extra time, you can let the salmon marinate in the Umami Joy Sauce mixture for up to 30 minutes.
