Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

2. 2

   Place salmon on the baking sheet; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle oil over salmon.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until salmon just starts to flake easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before breaking up into small pieces. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

4. 4

   Meanwhile, combine rice, water, and remaining salt in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stir once, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and fluff with a fork. Stir in rice vinegar and let cool.

5. 5

   When salmon is cooled, add it to a bowl with crab, cream cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha, and soy sauce, and stir to combine.

6. 6

   Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; add rice and press into an even layer. Crush nori sheets over rice and sprinkle with furikake. Spread salmon mixture over seaweed; sprinkle evenly with everything seasoning.

7. 7

   Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until browned around the edges, about 25 minutes.

8. 8

   Stir remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha, and lime juice together. Drizzle over casserole before serving; top with green onions and avocado.
