Sushi Salmon Bake

 

Ingredients:

2 C short-grain rice

60ml rice wine (or white wine) vinegar

1 T sugar

1 t salt

200g cream cheese, at room temperature

¼ C sriracha mayonnaise, plus extra, to serve (or add some hot sauce to normal mayo)

1 T finely chopped pickled ginger

300g hot smoked salmon

2 T furikake seasoning

Kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)

1 large avocado, cut into thin wedges

1 T sesame seeds, toasted

1 T black sesame seeds

1 green shallot, thinly sliced diagonally

1 nori sheet, thinly sliced

 

Method:

1. Place rice in a sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. Place the rice and 3 cups of water in a saucepan. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, without lifting the lid, for 15-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside, covered, for 5 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar and salt. Stir until combined.
2. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Place the cream cheese, mayonnaise and ginger in a bowl and stir until smooth and well combined. Remove and discard the skin from the salmon. Flake three-quarters of the salmon into the cream cheese mixture and gently stir until just combined.
3. Lightly grease an 18 x 22cm ovenproof dish. Spoon the rice mixture into the dish and press down lightly to compact. Sprinkle with half the furikake. Spread the salmon/cream cheese mixture evenly over the rice mixture then arrange the remaining salmon on top.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the rice is heated through. Drizzle over extra mayonnaise and kecap manis. Top with avocado. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, shallot, nori and remaining furikake.
