Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb Coho Salmon (skin removed, cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 3 tbsp Teriyaki Sauce (or Japanese BBQ Sauce)
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 3 cups Cooked Sushi Rice
  • 1 small Avocado (cubed)
  • 3 tbsp Spicy Mayo (or yum yum sauce)
  • 1 tbsp Furikake
  • 2 tbsp Crispy Fried Onion Bits
  • 2 tbsp Scallions (finely diced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Carefully remove the skin from the salmon, then cut the flesh into 1-inch pieces for even cooking and bite-sized portions.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: In a medium bowl, combine the cubed salmon with teriyaki sauce and kosher salt, mixing gently to coat. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Prepare the Rice Base: In a small baking dish, spread the cooked sticky sushi rice evenly and pat it down firmly to create a flat surface for layering.
  4. Add Salmon and Season: Arrange the marinated teriyaki salmon evenly over the rice. Sprinkle garlic powder and brown sugar evenly on top for added flavor and caramelization.
  5. Broil: Preheat your oven’s broiler and place the baking dish near the top rack. Broil for about 6 minutes until the salmon starts to caramelize and the sugar melts into a glaze.
  6. Add Toppings: Remove the baking dish from the oven and top with cubed avocado, drizzle spicy mayo over everything, then sprinkle with furikake, crispy fried onion bits, and finely diced scallions for crunch and flavor contrast.
  7. Serve: Serve the teriyaki salmon sushi immediately while warm and fresh to enjoy the blend of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Use Coho or any fresh sashimi-grade salmon for best results and safety.
  • If you don’t have a broiler, you can use a hot grill or a very hot oven, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Adjust the amount of spicy mayo according to your preferred spice level.
  • Furikake is a Japanese seasoning mix; you can substitute with toasted sesame seeds and seaweed flakes if unavailable.
  • This recipe can be made ahead by prepping salmon and rice separately but combine and broil just before serving for best texture.
