Three Way Salmon Chirashi Sushi
- 1/2 pounds, 2-58 ounces, weight Sushi Rice
- 1 cup, 11 tablespoons, 2- 1/2 pinches Water, Cold
- 2 tablespoons, 2 teaspoons, 1-78 pinches Rice Vinegar
- 3/4 ounces, weight Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pound, 1-23 ounces, weight Salmon Filet, Skin On, Sushi Grade
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Flour
- 4 Tablespoons Water, Cold
- 2 whole Cucumbers, Chopped Coarsely
- 2 stalks Green Onion, Chopped
- 1 whole Avocado, Peeled And Sliced
- 1 teaspoon Roasted Black Sesame Seeds
- 1/4 cups Teriyaki Sauce
- Sushi rice:
- Wash your rice under cold running water and rub it gently between your fingers, without breaking the grains.
- Wash until the water nearly comes clean.
- Put the rice in a pan or in a rice cooker, add the water accordingly and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Start cooking and as soon as the water boils, cover your pan tightly, turn to minimum heat and let cook for 15 solid minutes.
- Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a thick towel and let it sit again for about 10 minutes.
- If you have a rice cooker, you dont have to worry about a thing, just dont remove the lid for up to 10 minutes after the cooking is finished.
- Meanwhile, prepare the seasoned vinegar: mix the vinegar, sugar and salt until dissolved.
- Pour your rice into a large bowl.
- Add the seasoned rice vinegar and with a wide wooden spoon, pick up the rice from under and fold it gently.
- You just want to blend in the vinegar without breaking the grains.
- Fold until the vinegar is completely absorbed.
- Cover the rice until you are ready to use it.
- Roasted salmon skin:
- Start by cutting out the skin from the salmon, leaving a little less than 1 cm of flesh on it.
- Sprinkle with a little salt on both sides.
- Lay it on a nonstick pan, skin side down, turn up the heat and let it roast gently.
- It should take about 10 minutes to get a nice golden color without actually burning it.
- If you feel the need, add just a tiny little bit of oil to the pan.
- My salmon was quite fatty, so I didnt need to do that.
- Keep checking on it and adjust the heat accordingly.
- When its done, turn off the heat and flip the skin to the fleshy side.
- It will finish cooking all by itself and without drying out (3 to 4 minutes).
- Remove the skin from the pan, set aside.
- Tempura and panko fried salmon:
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of flour and add enough cold water to get a smooth pancake-like batter.
- In another bowl, pour the panko bread crumbs.
- Cut the raw salmon you have in half and slice one half into thick strips, cover them in batter and dredge them in panko.
- Fry until nice and golden.
- Remove and let it drain on a paper towel.
- Sashimi salmon:
- This is pretty easy.
- Just take the remaining salmon and cut it in bite-size pieces.
- I usually keep the fattiest pieces for the sashimi.
- (If you dont like raw fish, its fine to skip this!)
- Now, lets put everything together:
- Take two large serving bowls, add about 1/4 of the rice you made for each bowl (1 cup each bowl).
- Top with half of the salmon (I usually leave the tempura for last), cucumbers, green onion and avocado.
- Give it a good sprinkling of roasted sesame seeds, drizzle with teriyaki and serve with panko-covered salmon sticks on top.
- Enjoy!
