Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and slightly caramelized on top.
Make the Sushi Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, tomato sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sriracha according to your taste.
