Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi rice
- 30 ml Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Skinless salmon fillet
- 30 ml Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Wasabi paste
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
Cook the rice according to the package instructions or in a rice cooker, using water in a 1:1 ratio with the rice.
While the rice is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved, then remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gradually fold the vinegar mixture into the rice, mixing gently to avoid breaking the grains. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
While the rice is cooling, slice the salmon fillet into thin, even slices, roughly 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches long.
To assemble the nigiri, wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, and take approximately 20 grams of sushi rice to form a compact, oval-shaped ball.
Apply a small amount of wasabi paste onto one side of each slice of salmon.
Place the salmon slice, wasabi side down, on top of the rice ball, gently pressing it down to adhere.
Repeat the assembly process until all rice and salmon slices are used.
Serve the low fat nigiri salmon with low-sodium soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy your healthy meal!
