Preheat oven to 400°F
Cook sushi rice according to package directions, stirring 1 tsp Seasoned Vegetable Base into water before cooking. Let stand for 5 minutes. Drizzle rice with vinegar and mirin; using spatula, gently fold into rice.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, stir together remaining 2 tsp Seasoned Vegetable Base, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and half the green onions. Toss in salmon and cream cheese; toss to coat.
Press seasoned sushi rice into well-greased 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Top evenly with salmon mixture along with any remaining marinade. Smooth top.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until salmon is cooked through.
In small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and hot sauce. Drizzle over top of sushi bake. Garnish with remaining green onions and, if using, sprinkle with toasted furikake.
Serve sushi bake with nori, cucumber, avocado and mango, allowing diners to assemble sushi bake in nori and garnishing with toppings as desired.
Tips: For an extra-creamy sushi bake, stir ½ cup mayonnaise into salmon mixture in Step 3. Serve sushi bake with pickled ginger and wasabi if desired.
