Preparation Steps

Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly.

Slice the Salmon
Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh salmon fillet into thin pieces for sashimi (about 1/4 inch thick) and for nigiri (about 1 inch by 2 inches).

Form Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 15-20 grams) and shape it into an oval. Place a slice of salmon on top. If using nori, you can wrap a small strip around the nigiri.

Serve
Arrange the nigiri and sashimi on a plate. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side.
