Ingredients

Nigiri sauce

Garnish

Method

Nigiri-sauce

  • Pour soy sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar into a saucepan, bring to a boil, and thicken with a little cornstarch dissolved in a bit of soy sauce. It should become rich but not thickened.
  • Cool the sauce and brush onto the fish or sear it.

Salmon Nigiri

  • Cook sushi rice as indicated on the package or as described in this recipe.
  • While the rice is still warm, shape rice balls of about 25-30 grams with a damp hand. Aim for a shape that resembles a sushi rice grain.
  • Choose a piece from the belly loin and cut slices that match the size of the rice balls.
  • Place the salmon slice over the rice ball and press the salmon firmly onto all sides around the rice, using your fingers. This ensures it sticks well, looks good, and tastes great.

Aburi Nigiri – flame-seared nigiri

  • Ignite a torch and briefly sear the salmon until it appears slightly cooked. This process takes about 5-10 seconds per piece.
  • Brush the salmon with Nigiri sauce and top with sesame seeds, salmon roe, and finely sliced green onion.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite sushi accompaniments.

Tip:The sauce can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for several months.
