  • 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar

For the Seafood Layer:

  • 2 cups cooked and flaked salmon can use canned salmon or roasted salmon
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 teaspoons sriracha sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 lime juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Japanese mayonnaise
  • 1-2 teaspoons wasabi paste adjust to taste

  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter melted

For Garnish:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a bowl, combine the cooked rice with Japanese mayonnaise, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix well until the rice is creamy and well-coated.
  • Press the seasoned rice into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish to form an even layer. Take the time to make the rice compact and even.
  • In another bowl, mix together the shredded imitation crab meat and cooked flaked salmon. Add the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the seafood mixture. Gently toss to combine and coat the seafood.
  • Spread the crab and salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer in the baking dish.
  • Mix the melted butter with the Panko to create small clumps. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the fish layer. 
  • Bake the sushi bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the seafood is heated through and the Panko is browned.
  • Prepare the creamy wasabi mayo topping by combining Japanese mayonnaise, wasabi paste, soy sauce, and honey in a bowl. Adjust the amount of wasabi according to your desired level of spiciness.
  • Once the sushi bake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • Drizzle the creamy wasabi mayo topping over the top of the baked seafood and rice.
  • Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, sesame seeds, sliced cucumbers and Furikake. Serve warm and with Nori for added texture.
