Servings 16 nigiri

Ingredients

  • ½ lb salmon sliced sashimi style
  • Japanese mayonnaise
  • Sesame oil

  3. Once the rice block is golden on all sides, remove rice from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat until there are 16 golden rice blocks.
  4. Place a piece of salmon sashimi on top of each rice block.
  5. Squeeze Japanese mayo on each slice of salmon.
  6. Using a kitchen torch on high, quickly sear the outside of the salmon.
  7. Serve while the salmon is still warm!
