Canned Tuna and Salmon Sushi Bake

Don't know what to do with tinned fish? I have an idea! This sushi bake recipe calls for both canned tuna and salmon. I made this easier for you by skipping the step of cooking the salmon by using canned salmon instead! The sushi bake is like a casserole layered with warm sushi rice, furikake, and a mix of salmon, tuna, imitation crab, cream cheese, and Japanese mayo!
