Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  8. Spread the salmon mixture over the sushi rice in the baking dish.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and the top is lightly golden.
  10. Let it cool for a few minutes and garnish with extra green onions, nori strips, and tobiko (if desired).
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For lighter flavor, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. This dish holds up well for meal prep in the fridge for 2-3 days.
