Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use sushi-grade salmon for the best flavor and texture.
• Wetting your hands with water before handling the sushi rice will prevent it from sticking to your hands.
• You can customize the toppings according to your preference. Feel free to add other ingredients like sesame seeds, green onions, or tobiko (fish roe).

Storage and Serving

• Leftover sushi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it is best enjoyed fresh.
• Serve the sushi at room temperature or slightly chilled for the best taste.
• Garnish the sushi with additional toppings like sliced green onions or sesame seeds before serving for an extra pop of flavor and presentation.
