I saw this on dizzy busy and hungry’s page and knew it was something i needed to try. I had to make just a half batch as I made it while hubby was away as I wasn’t sure it was something i could get him into. He’s not a fan of salmon…
Definitely a lot of ingredient’s i didn’t have and I have a lot of weird stuff in my house!
Examples of what i didn’t have – unagi sauce, yum yum sauce
I also decided to go with canned salmon. I know don’t hate me.
Result was fun and i will honestly tell you I ate the half batch with glee. It would not be a repeat, i’d honestly rather have a hand roll or just get sushi. The nori was melt in your mouth, what a treat!

- 3 ounces salmon – from can of salmon
- 1 cups water
- 3 ounces imitation crab
- 2 tablespoons yum yum sauce
- 1/8 tablespoon salt

- ½ tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional)

Rice
- Wash the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear (could be about 4-5 rinses).
- Then let it soak in cold water for 10 minutes and then drain.
- In a pot over high heat, add the drained sushi rice and 1 cups of clean water and bring to a boil.
- Then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 14 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow it to cool.
Sushi Bake
- Drain salmon
- Place the crab, salmon, half of the yum yum sauce, and salt in a bowl and mix together.
- In a bowl combine rice, rice vinegar and sugar – mix
- Place rice mixture in a small pyrex, spread the rice evenly in the dish and press it down gently.
- Cover the rice with nori sheets.
- Spread the shredded salmon and imitation crab mixture over the nori sheets and press it down.
- Bake in the oven for 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the unagi sauce and the remaining yummy sauce over the baked sushi. Sprinkle the furikake, black sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and avocado.
- Cut into 4 pieces and serve on top of a the remaining nori sheets.
Verdict:
I mentioned above, this is fun, and a treat when hubby was away, but not something i’ll make again.
If you do try it and have a crowd, double it! it definitely requires a fork and knife, or make hand rolls…
