  • Spread the sushi rice evenly in the bottom of a greased baking dish.
  • Layer the sliced avocado and julienned cucumber over the rice.
  • Evenly distribute the tuna mixture over the top.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle with nori strips, if using, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.
