Notes

If using raw salmon, ensure it is labeled sushi-grade from a trusted source.Adjust sriracha to control the spice level.For a baked version, bake sauced salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes before assembling.Brown rice or cauliflower rice can be substituted for a lighter variation.Assemble just before serving for best texture and freshness.
