Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Assemble the Sushi Base: Fluff cooked sushi rice with a fork and spread it evenly in a baking dish.
  5. Add the Salmon: Place the cooked salmon fillet on top of the rice. Break the salmon apart slightly with a fork.
  6. Spread the Spicy Mayo: Generously spread the spicy mayonnaise mixture over the salmon.
  7. Add a Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the spicy mayo layer.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes until the topping turns golden brown.
