Ingredients

  • 250 g sashimi-grade salmon
  • 4 cups freshly cooked sushi rice
  • 2 spring onions, very thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • pinch of sugar
  • a few drops of sesame oil
  • Japanese Kewpi mayonnaise, to taste
  • ½ avocado, cut into wedges
  • 1 sheet toasted nori, very thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp sliced yellow pickled ginger
  • wasabi, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the salmon into 1-cm wide slices.
  2. Divide the hot cooked rice between 2 bowls. Scatter a few of the spring onions and a pinch of sesame seeds over the top. Arrange the salmon in a single layer on top.
  3. Using a kitchen blowtorch (or a wire whisk heated over a flame), scorch the salmon until lightly burnt.
  4. Combine the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and the remaining spring onion in a small bowl. Spoon the dressing over the salmon and scatter with the remaining sesame seeds.
  5. Arrange the mayonnaise, avocado, nori, wasabi and ginger on top and serve.
