03 - 60 ml rice vinegar
04 - 25 g granulated sugar
05 - 5 g salt

06 - 450 g fresh skinless salmon fillet, diced
07 - 120 ml mayonnaise

10 - 60 g green onions, chopped

→ Garnishes

11 - 1 sheet nori, cut into small strips
12 - Tobiko, optional for garnish
13 - Additional chopped green onions

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Set the oven to 190°C (375°F) and allow it to reach temperature.
02 - Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water. Cook the rice with 600 ml water following package instructions until tender.
03 - In a bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a bowl, fluff with a fork, then gently fold in the vinegar mixture evenly.
04 - Spread the seasoned rice evenly in the bottom of the baking dish and let it cool slightly.
05 - Combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions in a mixing bowl. Adjust seasoning and spice level to preference.
06 - Evenly spread the salmon mixture over the rice in the baking dish.
07 - Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and the top is lightly golden.
08 - Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for several minutes. Garnish with extra chopped green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if using. Serve warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Rinsing the sushi rice removes excess starch, preventing a gummy texture.
02 - Letting the rice cool slightly before adding the salmon mixture helps maintain layering.
