  • Category: Appetizer, Main Course
  • Cuisine: Fusion, Japanese

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 4 nori seaweed sheets
  • Rice vinegar
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Soy sauce
  • Wasabi (optional)
  • Pickled ginger (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Cucumber (thinly sliced (optional))
  • Avocado (thinly sliced (optional))

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon:
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
  4. Season the salmon with salt and pepper or any desired seasonings.
  5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  6. Cook the Sushi Rice:
  7. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  8. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, using slightly less water for a firmer texture.
  9. Once cooked, let the rice cool slightly, then season with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, stirring gently to incorporate. Allow it to cool completely.
  10. Prepare Nori Sheets:
  11. Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a clean surface, such as a cutting board or sushi rolling mat.
  12. Assemble the Sushi:
  13. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about a half-inch border along the top edge.
  14. Place a strip of baked salmon horizontally across the center of the rice.
  15. Add any optional fillings such as cucumber or avocado slices, sesame seeds, wasabi, or pickled ginger.
  16. Roll the Sushi:
  17. Starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll the nori sheet and rice over the filling, using a rolling mat or your hands to shape it into a cylinder.
  18. Moisten the top border of the nori sheet with water to seal the roll.
  19. Slice and Serve:
  20. Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to keep it clean.
  21. Serve the baked salmon sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side, if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use sushi-grade salmon.
  • Customize the sushi rolls with your favorite fillings such as vegetables or spicy mayo.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
