- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the salmon on the prepared sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Bake the salmon for 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and reaches 145°F internally.

- Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the cooked rice evenly across the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle crushed nori and furikake over the rice.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flaked salmon, cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix until the filling is creamy.
- Spread the salmon mixture evenly over the rice layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the top is bubbly.
- Prepare the extra spicy mayo by mixing 2 tablespoons of mayo and 1 teaspoon of sriracha.
- Drizzle the extra spicy mayo over the bake. Top with diced avocado and green onions before serving.
