Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is done, fluff it gently and stir in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool slightly.
Mix the Salmon Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped smoked salmon, mayonnaise, and Sriracha sauce. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Bake
