Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Mixture
  • 1 pound salmon Try sockeye or Atlantic salmon for variety.

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt Table salt can be used in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh minced garlic works wonderfully too.
For the Sushi Base

For Toppings
  • 1 medium avocado Feel free to skip for a simpler flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons spicy mayo Mix mayonnaise with sriracha for a homemade version.
  • 1 tablespoon furikake Crushed nori or sesame seeds can be used instead.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Remove the skin from your salmon fillet and cut it into 1-inch cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon with teriyaki sauce and a pinch of kosher salt. Allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Press cooked sushi rice into the bottom of a small baking dish to form a flat and sticky base. Spread the salmon mixture over the rice evenly.
  3. Sprinkle garlic powder and brown sugar over the top of the salmon layer.
  4. Place the baking dish under the broiler and let it cook for about 6 minutes until caramelized.
  5. After broiling, layer on slices of avocado, drizzle with spicy mayo, and sprinkle with furikake, crispy fried onion bits, and diced scallions.
  6. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm layers of sticky sushi rice, tender salmon, and vibrant toppings.
