Salmon Sushi Bake

About This Recipe:

The time has finally come for the infamous salmon sushi bake! This recipe is an amazing way to use up leftover salmon, or to spice up your everyday salmon. If you do not have kewpie mayo, you can use regular mayo and just add a splash of rice wine vinegar, and if you don’t have furikake you can make your own with seaweed and sesame seeds. This recipe could work with jasmine rice, but it won’t have the same glutinous, thick texture as sushi rice. However, the rice wine vinegar is necessary for the rice because it’s what gives it that slightly tangy, sweet flavor.

Enjoy!
