Broiling the Salmon
- Place a rack closest to broiler. Heat broiler to high. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, oil (if using), and 4 teaspoons soy sauce.
- Place salmon on a large foil-lined baking sheet; season all over with 1 teaspoon salt. Spoon 1 tablespoon spicy mayo on each fillet and rub all over. Broil salmon, watching closely, until tops start to brown and blister, 9 to 11 minutes.
Preparing the Rice and Vegetables
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss rice, furikake, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce until combined.
- In a small bowl, toss cabbage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon sugar until combined.
Assembling the Onigirazu
- Transfer salmon to another medium bowl and add 2 tablespoons spicy mayo. Using a fork, break salmon into small pieces and toss until coated.
- On a work surface, arrange a sheet of nori with a point facing you. Spoon 1/3 cup rice mixture into the center. Using wet fingers, pat rice into a square.
- Top with 1/4 cup salmon mixture, spreading over rice. Layer with 4 slices cucumber, 2 tablespoons cabbage mixture, 1 tablespoon grated carrot, 2 slices avocado, and 2 tablespoons spicy mayo.
- Fold top corner of sheet down over the center. Repeat with bottom, left, and right corners to make a square pouch, enclosing fillings. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling. Let sit 10 minutes.
- Unwrap sushi sandwich and slice in half. Serve with remaining spicy mayo alongside.
