Salmon

I believe that the salmon needs to be fresh, not previously frozen. you will see other views expressed on this. Some believe its better to freeze raw fish first to kill any parasites..

 

 

Preparation

Buy Salmon fillet, not the "horseshoe" shaped steaks. You need to make sure the fillet is about 3/4" - 1" (20-25mm) thick and 2 inches in width to make nigiris. You need a very sharp knife. Carefully slice the salmon width ways in thin slices for the nigiris. Cut into 1/16" (2mm) thick slices.

You can also add salmon to California rolls in long strips or you can just have salmon rolls with avocado and spring onion.
