Sushi Bake

This was a viral recipe on TikTok and IG. I've made it several times even though I'm a sushi snob. Why? Because kids LOVE this, it's a great way to start kids into trying sushi. This recipe left out the crispy fried seaweed. You wrap the rice in it like a taco and it's delish! If you can't find crispy fried seaweed, just cut up regular sheets of seaweed into 4 pieces to use as a wrap for the rice. A great side is a refreshing cucumber salad with avocados.

This is not meant to be a replacement for real sushi. But it is a delicious appetizer to bring to a party. I’ve brought it to a few and it’s always a hit. I bring a squeeze bottle of sriracha Mayo and one with eel sauce or Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce, nori sheets, sliced cucumbers and avocados and let people make their own little creations. Seriously, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

Our family absolutely loves this recipe. It is not a replacement for sushi but it is still easy, quick and delicious! I have found that adding frozen fish (tuna usually) just prior to baking allows for a slightly seared final product and helps avoid over cooking.

This sounded so bonkers I had to try it. The balance of flavors is right for sushi, and subbing Soy Vey Teriyaki worked when I couldn't find other sauces mentioned in the comments. Dumb luck, I got the Srirachi amount right--and massaged the mayo and hot sauce to mix in a small ziplock for the topping (one less bowl...) Defrosted frozen tuna steaks in 1/4-1/2 inch (ish) cubes worked well. Cucumbers and avocado on the side are a must. Thanks everyone--I always read the comments first!

Donna D., I've used cooked shrimp! Just be sure to dry it well before chopping it or it will water down your casserole.

This recipe is amazingly versatile ~ its not a hard pass if you like sushi, as its a baked easy dish for family, parties, (double recipe) work lunches, kids dinners or lunches as you can change the fish or seafood on top to your taste or even add cooked chopped chicken thighs. And YES, serve crispy nori snack papers to scoop up with on side & spicy mayo dip or teriyaki sauce or shoyu wasbi if desired. This is Magic!!

I was super skeptical about this casserole but I pulled the trigger and made it one cold night during the height of the pandemic. I was not disappointed, the flavors melded together very nicely. I read one recipe that suggested mixing real crab with fake, again I thought it was weird but it was really good. I drizzled unagi sauce and sriracha on top and had cucumber and avocado to combine in the nori squares.

This is so delicious! Not a replacement for sushi, but a fun and very good dish on its own merits. I use salmon instead of crab, but I’ll definitely try with canned tuna. LOVE.

Amazing recipe! Followed the recipe but added Yum Yum sauce instead of mayonnaise. So good!

The intro to the recipe says, "This recipe uses imitation crab, but feel free to use real crab meat, or equal amounts cooked or canned tuna or salmon."

Of course it isn’t sushi. It is a casserole of familiar flavors that seems more exotic than pizza and will fill up a passel of teenaged without breaking the bank. You can also use lightly poached salmon or shrimp, or add tamagoyaki on the side.

It's more like a baked California roll, it's fairly easy to do but it can be bit rich - but still a treat and kids love this!

I skip the baking part and cream cheese and just layer it all in a bowl. I serve it with cucumber mixed with rice vinegar, mirin and sesame oil. Add avocado and last night’s leftover salmon and this is easy comfort food and/or a great lunch.

kewpie mayo is eggier than regular mayo. to me it has kind of an egg salad vibe. it's rich and delicious especially with avocado. i use regular mayo in my chicken marinades instead of oil, and have also used it to make a melty cheese spread for sandwiches like this: https://patijinich.com/milanesa-torta-with-matador-guacamole-and-melty-cheese/ and in either application where it's just a creamy binder, you don't taste it so i feel like you could sub regular mayo and have a similar outcome.

As a pregnant person who has been craving sushi for the last 5 months, this absolutely hit the spot! So tasty!!! I was in a pinch and ended up using Sriracha mayo instead of mixing mayo and Sriracha together. I was worried it would come out funny but it was delicious so the same
