Salmon Sushi Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 200g fresh salmon
• 1 cup sushi rice
• 2 nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water
• wasabi (for serving)
• soy sauce (for serving)
• ginger (for serving)

Preparation Steps:

1. Preparing the rice:

   • Rinse the sushi rice in cold water several times until the water becomes clear. Then drain it in a colander and let it drain excess water for 15-20 minutes.
   • Transfer the rice to a pot and add water in a 1:1 ratio (equal parts water and rice). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
   • After cooking, turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 10 minutes to finish cooking.
   • In a separate bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat this mixture over low heat, stirring, until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Let it cool.

2. Preparing the salmon:

   • Cut the fresh salmon into thin strips. Note that the salmon should be fresh and of high quality.

3. Assembling the sushi:

   • Prepare the sushi rolling mat and nori. Place a nori sheet on the sushi rolling mat, spread a layer of rice over it, leaving the top edge of the nori sheet free.
   • Place a strip of salmon in the middle of the nori sheet.
   • Using the sushi rolling mat, carefully roll the sushi, pressing it with the round end.
   • Repeat the same steps for the remaining ingredients.

4. Slicing and serving:

   • Using a knife, moistened with water, slice the rolls into pieces about 2 cm thick.
   • The salmon sushi is ready to serve. Serve them on a plate along with wasabi, soy sauce, and ginger.

Tips and Recommendations:

• For the best flavor, use fresh and high-quality salmon.
• Remember to wet your hands with water before forming the sushi to prevent the rice from sticking.
• For a more diverse taste, you can add avocado or cucumber to the sushi filling.

In Conclusion:

Salmon Sushi is an exquisite dish that will delight you with its tender taste and unique presentation. Try making this magnificent Japanese delicacy at home and treat yourself and your loved ones!
