About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 1/5 cup water
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 7 1/10 oz salmon (farm‑raised, skinless)
- soy sauce
- wasabi paste
- pickled ginger
- nori sheets (optional)
Instructions
- 1Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
- 2Combine the rinsed rice and 1.2 cups of water in a rice cooker or saucepan; cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15‑18 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- 3While the rice cooks, prepare the sushi seasoning by mixing the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
- 4When the rice is done, transfer it to a large, non‑metallic bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spatula, fanning the rice to cool it to room temperature.
- 5Cover the seasoned rice with a damp cloth to keep it moist while you prepare the salmon.
- 6Ensure the salmon is fresh, firm, and not slimy; if desired for safety, briefly freeze it at -68°F (‑4°F) for 24 hours, then thaw in the refrigerator.
- 7Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon into thin, bite‑size pieces (about ¼‑inch thick) suitable for nigiri.
- 8With wet hands, shape small mounds of sushi rice (approximately 1‑inch diameter) and place a slice of salmon on top, pressing gently to adhere.
- 9If using nori, cut the sheets into small rectangles and place a salmon‑topped rice mound on each, then roll or fold the nori around the rice.
- 10Arrange the salmon nigiri on a serving plate and garnish with a dab of wasabi on each piece, if desired.
- 11Serve the sushi with small dishes of soy sauce, additional wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
- 12Enjoy immediately while the rice is slightly warm and the salmon is fresh.
