Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while preparing the other components.
  2. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with an equal amount of water and cook in a rice cooker or pot for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl until dissolved, then fold it into the cooked rice and allow it to cool slightly.
  4. Spread the slightly cooled sushi rice into a greased baking dish, pressing down to form an even layer.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix diced salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and chopped green onions until well blended.
  6. Evenly distribute the salmon mixture over the rice layer, ensuring it completely covers the rice.
  7. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the salmon is cooked and the top is golden.
  8. Remove from oven, cool slightly, garnish with nori and tobiko, and serve warm with pickled ginger and soy sauce.
