Method

How to make Salmon Sushi 101 (Sans Bamboo Mat!)

  • After rinsing the rice, place rice to drain in a strainer. Drain for one hour in the winter, 30 minutes in the summer.
  • Combine mirin, vinegar, salt, and sugar together in a bowl and mix well.
  • Add rice and 1 C water to a pot and bring to boil. Put lid on, reduce to simmer and cook for 15 minutes. DO NOT lift lid, even after the 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, take the pot off the heat and let sit, undisturbed, for 10 more minutes.
  • Place in a glass dish to cool and lightly fan the rice while adding the vinegar mixture; mix gently. Let rice cool to room temperature.
  • In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and mayo together well.
  • Cut nori into long strips and cut each strip in half.
  • Cut salmon into 1-inch strips or squares.
  • On a clean work surface, lay out a strip of nori and spread a thin layer of cream cheese mix (it should be thick enough for the rice to stick - barely see through).
  • Sprinkle on a pinch of garlic powder, or to taste.
  • Spread layer of rice over the cream cheese mixture.
  • Sprinkle on a pinch, or to taste, of black pepper and minced onions.
  • Lay a piece of salmon in the middle of the prepared nori strip, on top of everything.
  • Pull ends together so that they meet. You will have a roll. Press gently on the seam to seal it.
  • Arrange on attractive plate and enjoy!
