INGREDIENTS
The Salmon:INSTRUCTIONS
- Smoke the Salmon
Preheat your Yoder Smoker YS640S to 250°F using peach pellets. Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, or SPG rub. Smoke the salmon directly on a grill tray or mat for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135–140°F and the fish flakes easily. Let rest, then flake into chunks. - Prepare the Sushi Rice
Season warm cooked rice with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well and let cool to room temperature. - Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix the flaked smoked salmon with Kewpie mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, and optional cream cheese until creamy and combined. - Assemble the Bake
In a cast iron skillet, press the rice into an even layer. Spread the salmon mixture over the top. Sprinkle generously with furikake or a mix of crushed nori and sesame seeds. - Smoke-Bake
Return the skillet to the smoker and continue baking at 250°F for 15 to 20 minutes, until heated through and lightly golden on top. - Garnish and Serve
Drizzle with extra mayo and sriracha. Top with sliced avocado and green onions. Serve with seaweed sheets for scooping and pickled ginger on the side.
Pro Tip:
For a crispy, golden top, finish the bake with a quick torch or broil before serving. This dish also works well with smoked trout or crab for variety.
