A crowd-pleasing casserole inspired by California rolls, featuring layers of seasoned sushi rice, crab and salmon, creamy spicy mayo, and crunchy furikake, all baked to perfection and served with nori sheets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces imitation crab meat, flaked
  • 8 ounces cooked salmon, flaked
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon eel sauce (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons furikake seasoning
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Nori sheets, for serving
  • Extra spicy mayo and eel sauce, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the sushi rice according to package directions.
  2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
  3. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the seasoning mixture over the rice and gently fold it in with a spatula until evenly distributed. Let the rice cool slightly.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flaked imitation crab meat and flaked salmon.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy mayo. Add eel sauce if using.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Spread half of the seasoned sushi rice evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  8. Layer the crab and salmon mixture over the rice.
  9. Spread the spicy mayo mixture evenly over the crab and salmon.
  10. Top with the remaining sushi rice, pressing down gently.
  11. Sprinkle the furikake seasoning and chopped green onions over the top layer of rice.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden on top.
  13. Let the sushi bake cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with nori sheets for scooping, and offer extra spicy mayo and eel sauce as toppings if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add more sriracha to the mayo mixture.
  • You can substitute imitation crab with cooked shrimp or other seafood.
  • Ensure your salmon is cooked and flaked before adding it to the bake.
  • Using a rice cooker can simplify the rice preparation.
  • This dish is great for potlucks and parties.
