Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, stir together the warm U.S.-grown short-grain rice, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until combined. Fold in the Japanese mayonnaise and furikake, then press the rice evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, combine the salmon, mayonnaise, sriracha, miso paste, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, cream cheese, and grated garlic. Mix gently until creamy but still slightly chunky, then spread evenly over the rice.

  4. 4

    Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the panko and soy sauce and cook, stirring often, until the crumbs are golden and crisp.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the crispy garlic topping evenly over the salmon layer.

  6. 6

    Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the top is lightly golden.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and finish with sliced jalapeños, green onions, tobiko if using, and a drizzle of Japanese mayonnaise and sriracha or chili oil. Serve warm with roasted seaweed snacks or nori for scooping.
