Step-by-Step Instructions for Oven-Baked Salmon Sushi Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  3. In a pot, combine rinsed sushi rice and 2 ½ cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 18-20 minutes until water is absorbed.
  4. In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat gently until dissolved, then fold this mixture into your cooled rice.
  5. Slice salmon fillet into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  6. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking oil and spread a layer of seasoned sushi rice at the bottom.
  7. Arrange salmon pieces on top of the sushi rice layer.
  8. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and place them on top of the salmon layer.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily and is opaque.
  10. Let the dish cool slightly before slicing into individual bites.
