Whip up a scrumptious Japanese feast with salmon (or chicken and tuna) over flavorful, seasoned rice.
Ingredients:
  • 400g rice
  • 1 side ocean trout or salmon (around 1.2kg), pin-boned
  • Sesame oil, to drizzle
  • Soy sauce, to drizzle
  • 12.00 gm sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 avocados, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch spring onions, whites sliced into coins, sliced fine
  • 400g packet frozen podded edamame, blanched
  • 1 telegraph cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded and cut into crescents
  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into batons, crisped in iced water
  • 1 fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly shaved
  • 200g jar pickled ginger, drained
  • 3 sheets nori, toasted and torn (see tips)
  • 50g salmon pearl roe
  • 60ml soy sauce
  • 20.00 gm sushi seasoning
  • 100g fish
  • 1 bunch dill, sprigs picked
  • 25g furikake (see tips)
  • Kewpie mayonnaise, to serve
  • Sriracha, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 100C (80C fan forced) to create the perfect cooking environment. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, using a rice cooker if available for convenience.
  • Trim the flatter, fattier sides off the fish, keeping two unequal flaps and a juicy central barrel of flesh. Gently remove the skin from the central part of the fish using a sharp knife, pulling the skin towards you. Set aside the skin and flaps for later use.
  • Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the skinless fish on it and bake for 25 minutes, ensuring it is partially cooked to achieve tender, flaky flesh.
  • Once the fish is in the oven, preheat a barbecue grill on high heat. Brush sesame oil on both the flaps and skin, then place the fish skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5 minutes until the skin is crispy and edges are slightly charred. Drizzle with soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving on a plate.
  • Delicately coat avocado with lime juice and transfer it to a bowl. Prepare separate bowls for spring onion coins, edamame, cucumber, carrot batons, fennel shavings, pickled ginger, and nori. These will be for plates #2 to #8.
  • Gently heat the salmon pearl roe in the soy sauce and let it rest.
  • Spread the cooked sushi rice on a large serving plate, sprinkle with sushi seasoning, and mix gently. Add flying fish roe, spring onion greens, drained salmon pearl roe, dill sprigs, and a generous amount of furikake on top. Serve on plate #9.
  • Arrange plates on the table for everyone to create their own bowl combinations, offering toasted sesame seeds, furikake, Kewpie mayo, and sriracha on the side.
