Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a small square or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillet on a baking tray lined with foil. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, then season with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked. Let it cool slightly, then flake the salmon into small pieces with a fork.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to create a spicy mayo. Adjust the spice level to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice with rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and half of the sliced green onions. Stir well to evenly coat the rice.
Spread half of the rice mixture in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place a nori sheet on top of the rice layer, trimming if necessary to fit the dish size perfectly.
Spread the flaked salmon evenly over the nori sheet, then drizzle with the spicy mayo. Add the remaining sliced green onions on top for extra flavor.
Place another nori sheet over the salmon layer, then spread the remaining rice mixture on top, pressing gently to create an even and compact layer.
Top the final rice layer with the last nori sheet, pressing gently to help it adhere.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow the layers to set.
Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator and carefully cut into slices or bars using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
