Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound skinless salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
- Rinse sushi rice under cold water until it runs clear.
- Combine rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot, and cook according to instructions or boil, covering and simmering for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and top with avocado slices and chopped green onions.
- Serve with nori strips and soy sauce on the side.
Notes
Consider marinating your salmon for added depth of flavor. Let the bake rest after coming out of the oven for better flavor melding.
