Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare Salmon

    Cut the salmon fillet into rectangular pieces that fit your sushi mold. Season with salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sushi

    In a sushi mold, layer the cooled sushi rice at the bottom, then place the salmon on top. Press down firmly to compact.

  4. 4

    Torch the Salmon

    Carefully remove the sushi from the mold. Use a kitchen torch to lightly sear the top of the salmon until it is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Prepare Umami Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Adjust seasoning as desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the pressed sushi into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle the umami sauce over the top and garnish with shaved serrano peppers and a dab of wasabi.
