Method

Sashimi Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Salmon

    Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh salmon fillet against the grain into thin pieces, approximately 1 cm thick.

  2. 2

    Plate the Sashimi

    Arrange the salmon slices neatly on a chilled plate.

  3. 3

    Add Condiments

    Serve the sashimi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping.

Sushi Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions.

  2. 5

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the vinegar mixture while the rice is still warm.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Sushi Roll

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of seasoned sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.

  4. 7

    Add Salmon

    Place a few slices of the prepared salmon along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.

  5. 8

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  6. 9

    Slice the Sushi

    Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 cm wide.
