Ingredients

Sushi Rice

Seared Salmon

Umami Sauce

Garnish

Preparation

Prepare Sushi Rice

1. Cook Rice

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Let it cool slightly.

2. Season Rice

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over cooked rice and gently fold to combine. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Sear Salmon

3. Prepare Salmon

Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

4. Sear Salmon

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Use a kitchen torch to carefully char the top of the salmon for added flavor.

Make Umami Sauce

5. Combine Ingredients

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

Assemble Sushi

6. Prepare Sushi

On a bamboo sushi mat, lay a sheet of nori. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Place slices of seared salmon on top of the rice.

7. Add Garnish

Thinly slice the serrano peppers and place them on top of the salmon. Drizzle with umami sauce.

8. Roll Sushi

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

9. Slice and Serve

Slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces and serve with additional umami sauce and wasabi on the side.
