# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 190°C (375°F).
02 - Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook until tender.
03 - In a mixing bowl, stir together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until completely dissolved.
04 - Fluff cooked rice with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture until evenly incorporated.
05 - Evenly spread the seasoned rice at the bottom of a baking dish and allow to cool slightly.
06 - In a separate bowl, combine diced salmon, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix until well blended and adjust spice level as preferred.
07 - Evenly distribute the salmon mixture over the rice layer in the baking dish.
08 - Place baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and the surface is lightly golden.
09 - Remove from oven and cool briefly. Garnish with additional green onions, nori strips, and tobiko if desired. Serve warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Rinsing the sushi rice thoroughly removes excess starch, resulting in ideal texture.
