Ingredients

Sushi Rice

Salmon and Toppings

Umami Sauce

Preparation

Prepare Sushi Rice

1. Rinse the Rice

In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. Cook the Rice

Combine the rinsed sushi rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to rice cooker instructions, or bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

3. Season the Rice

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over it. Gently fold to combine and allow to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Salmon

4. Prepare the Salmon

Remove the skin from the salmon fillet and cut it into 1-inch thick slices.

5. Torch the Salmon

Heat a torch or broiler to medium-high and lightly sear the salmon slices, just until the surface is golden-brown. Be careful not to overcook.

Assemble Sushi

6. Layer Ingredients

On a bamboo sushi mat, spread a thin layer of sushi rice. Place a slice of seared salmon on top, followed by a few thin slices of serrano peppers.

7. Roll Sushi

Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly, pressing gently to shape it. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

8. Cut Sushi

Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled sushi into 6-8 pieces.

Prepare Umami Sauce

9. Combine Sauce Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and wasabi until well combined.
