Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Grease a medium-sized baking dish (approx 8”x11”).
To make seasoned sushi rice, combine ¼ cup rice vinegar, ⅛ tsp liquid stevia, and 1.5 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves completely. Pour over the warm cooked sushi rice. Very gently mix/fold with a rice paddle until the rice is well-coated. Set aside to cool.
To make the creamy filling, combine 4oz diced salmon, 4oz diced shrimp, ¼ cup diced cucumber, ½ cup cream cheese, 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 Tbsp sriracha in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
To assemble the sushi bake, scoop the cooled rice into the baking dish, spread into an even layer, compress it down with wet hands (to prevent sticking), sprinkle with half the furikake seasoning, then scoop the creamy filling on top and smooth it out. Top with the other half of the furikake seasoning.
Bake on the center rack for 15 minutes or until the fish and shrimp are cooked through.
Place 2 Tbsp mayo in a squeeze bottle or use plastic bag with a corner cut off.
Garnish with avocado slices, drizzle with mayo, and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve warm with quartered nori sheets.
Notes
-Reduce amount of sriracha if sensitive to spice. This dish is a mild spice level. -Eat like tacos using the nori sheets. Best eaten right after putting in the wrappers so that nori stays crispy and doesn’t get soggy.-If you prefer kewpie mayo, you can absolutely use that. I prefer avocado oil mayo because it has clean ingredients. Kewpie mayo is delicious, but it has a lot of sugar and has super refined oils like soybean oil and/or rapeseed oil, which are not great for your health. Did I mention it also has MSG? While MSG continues to be highly debated as to its health effects, what we do know for sure is that it is highly addictive and can lead to overeating and cravings. Basically it makes food taste great! Too great. I personally try to avoid it when I can.
