Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Mixture

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by removing the skin from the salmon fillet and cutting it into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, combine the cubed salmon with teriyaki sauce and kosher salt. Allow the mixture to marinate for about 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small baking dish, press cooked sushi rice firmly into an even layer to create the base for your sushi bake. Spread the marinated salmon mixture evenly over the rice, followed by a sprinkle of garlic powder and brown sugar.
  3. Set your oven to high broil and place the baking dish on the top rack. Broil the Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bake for about 6 minutes, keeping a close eye on it.
  4. After broiling, carefully remove the dish from the oven. Top the salmon layer with sliced avocado, then drizzle with spicy mayo. Finish by sprinkling furikake, crispy fried onions, and sliced scallions over the top.
  5. Serve your Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bake hot. Consider pairing it with pickled ginger and wasabi on the side.
