The most important and crucial part of sushi, whether at home or in a restaurant, is the seafood: fish, crab, scallops, etc. It’s very important to buy and use only the freshest, sushi-grade seafood for taste and for food-safety reasons. I get my sushi-grade fish from a Japanese supermarket and a local fish market that delivers to sushi restaurants across town. If you’re not sure about the quality, always ask! Most seafood comes frozen and is then thawed in the store.

Nigiri sushi is a popular type of sushi with a slice of raw fish or another protein on top of a mound of vinegary rice. Usually a small amount of wasabi is placed between the fish and rice. It’s so easy to make at home with a few simple tips.

1.Cook Sushi Rice:Best salmon nigiri starts with high-quality sushi rice. Japanese short-grain sushi rice works the best. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and let it cool down slightly. When it’s still very warm, season with sushi vinegar (or white vinegar, sugar and salt).

2.Slice the Salmon:Cut the salmon against the grain, with about 30 to 45 degree angle. You’ll need to adjust the angle from time to time to get the proper length and thickness. I recommend cutting it to 3-inch long, 1-inch wide, and 1/4-inch thick pieces.

3.Shape the Rice:Take about 3 tablespoons of rice in your right hand. Squeeze it together until it rolls into a firm oval shape. Try to make the bottom flat with a rounded top.

4.Add Wasabi to Salmon:Place the salmon slice on the root of your fingers. Then take a pea-sized portion of wasabi, and spread in the middle of the fish. This is an optional step, and you can skip it if you don’t have wasabi.

5. Assemble the Nigiri: Place the rolled sushi rice onto the salmon, and bend your fingers to cover both the fish and rice together. Press down the rice using the index finger from the other hand.

6. Arrange and Serve: Turn the fish and rice and let the salmon slice sit on top of the rice. Arrange them on a plate and serve with optional wasabi, soy sauce, along with pickled ginger.

You should shop for farmed Atlantic salmon or Alaskan salmon for nigiri. It’s important that you use farmed salmon as wild salmon has a high risk for parasites when it’s raw.

If you’d like to use smoked salmon for this recipe, you can simply swap smoked salmon for raw salmon, and follow the same instructions. If you like Philadelphia Roll Sushi, you’ll love smoked salmon nigiri.

Cut the salmon against the grain with an angle of 30 to 45 degrees. Cut it into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick. I recommend cutting it to 3-inch long and 1-inch wide. You’ll need to adjust the angle from time to time in order to get the right size.

While salmon nigiri is best served fresh, you can prepare it 1 day ahead of time in a pinch. Any longer and the fish may not be fresh enough and/or bacteria growth could pose food safety risks.

Once assembled, wrap the nigiri tightly in plastic wrap and place it into an airtight container in the fridge until serving time, up to 24 hours from when it was prepared. Do not freeze.

Traditional salmon nigiri recipe calls for raw salmon, and you’ll need to buy sashimi-grade salmon. Usually you can find it at your local Japanese grocery stores. Place the fish on ice before cooking, and it’s best to eat it the same day. If you don’t like the idea of eating raw fish, substitute smoked salmon, or cooked salmon (thinly sliced).

Salmon nigiri consists a slice of raw salmon served over pressed vinegar rice. Salmon sashimi is not sushi, and doesn’t have rice. It refers to just slices of raw salmon, often served over shredded daikon radish.
