Gluten-Free Salmon Sushi Bake
A deconstructed sushi bake made with layers of sushi rice, seasoned salmon, avocado, and a creamy sauce. This gluten-free version uses tamari and rice vinegar for a delicious and allergy-friendly alternative to traditional sushi.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Sushi Rice
- 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- about 680 g Salmon Fillet
- 2 tablespoons Tamari Sauce
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 Avocado
- 5 sheets Nori Seaweed
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Rinse the 3 cups of Sushi Rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Transfer the rinsed 3 cups of Sushi Rice and 3.75 cups of water to a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes to finish steaming.
- 2While the rice rests, preheat your oven to 190°C. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar, 2 tablespoons Sugar, and 1 teaspoon Salt until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Place the about 680 g Salmon Fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush it evenly with the 2 tablespoons Tamari Sauce.
- 3Bake the salmon in the preheated 190°C oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and its internal temperature reaches 63°C when measured with a meat thermometer. Once the cooked rice has rested, gently transfer it to a large bowl, pour the prepared seasoning mixture evenly over the 3 cups of Sushi Rice, and mix carefully with a rice paddle or spoon to combine.
- 4Remove the cooked salmon from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes. While the salmon cools, in a separate medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup Mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon Sriracha, then stir until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Cut the 2 Avocados in half, carefully remove the pits, and slice the avocado flesh into 1.27 cm thick pieces. Flake the cooled about 680 g Salmon Fillet into bite-sized pieces with a fork.
- 5Spread the seasoned 3 cups of Sushi Rice evenly across the bottom of a 22.86 × 33.02 cm baking dish. Arrange the flaked about 680 g Salmon Fillet over the rice, followed by the sliced 2 Avocados. Drizzle the prepared spicy mayo sauce evenly over the salmon and avocado layers.
- 6Place the baking dish in the 190°C oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the sauce is warmed through and slightly bubbly. While the bake is in the oven, cut the 5 sheets Nori Seaweed into thin strips, about 0.635 cm wide. Once the sushi bake is out of the oven, sprinkle the 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds evenly over the top, then serve immediately with the nori strips on the side.
