How To Make smoked salmon nigiri-zushi

  • 1
    Slice the salmon into bite sized pieces.
  • 2
    Put a little wasabi on one side of the fish.
  • 3
    Moisten your hands with water and place a small ball of sushi rice in your palm, about 2 tablespoons.
  • 4
    Press the fish, wasabi-side down, onto the rice.
  • 5
    Gently hand-sculpt and shape it into an oblong. The rice has to be tight enough to hold a shape, but loose enough to melt in your mouth.
  • 6
    Serve with soy sauce for dipping and additional wasabi and pickled ginger, if desired. Dip in soy sauce, fish first, not rice.
