Instructions

Step: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 7 x 11” casserole dish with parchment paper.

Step: Cook rice in water according to package instructions (approximately 20 minutes).
Step: Let the rice cool for 10 minutes, then season with rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. Mix with a rubber spatula.

Step: Transfer the seasoned rice into the prepared casserole dish and press down into a single layer.
Step: Sprinkle evenly with furikake.
Step: Top with the salmon mixture and spread evenly, pressing lightly.

Notes

Soy sauce can be swapped for coconut aminos or tamari. If you don’t have a 7”x11” casserole dish, you can also use a 9”x9” square dish. Imitation crab meat can be swapped for real crab meat or more fresh salmon.
