Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, then mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool.
  2. Season the salmon fillet with salt and spices. Cook in an air fryer at 400°F for 10-12 minutes or bake at 375°F for 15-17 minutes until flaky. Cool slightly, then flake.
  3. In a bowl, combine flaked salmon, imitation crab, and Sriracha mayo until creamy. Set aside.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a baking dish, spread the sushi rice, sprinkle furikake, drizzle additional rice vinegar, then layer the seafood mixture on top.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
  6. Cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with Sriracha mayo, furikake, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve with roasted seaweed snacks.
