Salmon Sushi Bake Recipe

Say hello to my new favorite healthy dinner – Salmon Sushi Bake. Oh. My. Goodness! This recipe is so flavorful and comes together quickly and easily. I’m obsessed! I first got the idea for this on TikTok and knew I had to make my own version.

The bake has a layer of cooked sushi rice, a layer of baked salmon (tossed in a creamy sauce and then broiled to a crispy texture), and a layer of toppings, which can be anything you want. I love adding avocado slices, diced cucumbers, green onions, crumbled nori sheets, and sesame seeds!

Storing Leftovers for Spicy Salmon Sushi Bake

To be completely honest, storing leftover and reheating salmon isn’t really ideal. It’s always best served fresh! However, I’m a big believer in not wasting food and always finding a way to enjoy things later if need be.

To store leftover sushi bake, place the individual servings in airtight containers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. You can actually enjoy this bake cold! Or another option is to very lightly heat it up in the microwave (about 30-40 seconds) and then add the toppings after reheating.
