Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sushi Rice
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon Natural Gelling Agent
  • Salt, to taste

Spicy Salmon Mixture

  • 1 lb Salmon Fillets, fresh
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise (plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural)

Topping and Garnish

  • 1 cup Plant-Based Cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup Scallions, chopped
  • Optional: Toasted Sesame Seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, season the rice with apple cider vinegar (natural), a pinch of salt, and a dash of natural gelling agent. Stir gently to combine and achieve the perfect sticky texture suitable for layering in your bake.
  2. Make the Spicy Salmon Mixture: Flake the fresh salmon fillets into a bowl using a fork. Gently fold in the plant-based mayonnaise, sriracha (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until evenly combined, forming a creamy and spicy topping bursting with umami flavor.
  3. Assemble the Bake: In a baking dish, spread an even layer of the seasoned sushi rice. Sprinkle a small amount of natural gelling agent into the rice mixture before layering to help it hold together. Top the rice evenly with the spicy salmon mixture. Finish by generously sprinkling shredded plant-based cheese over the salmon layer.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely and bubbles, and the salmon is cooked through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped scallions and diced cucumbers on top for fresh crunch and brightness. Optionally, add toasted sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma and texture. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Rinse sushi rice until water runs clear for ideal texture.
  • Fold salmon gently into the spicy mayo to maintain flakiness.
  • Use fresh scallions and cucumbers to brighten the dish.
  • Adjust sriracha gradually to control heat level.
  • Allow the bake to rest briefly before serving to meld flavors.
