Salmon Sushi Boat with Nigiri and Maki

A generous party platter of salmon-focused sushi: glossy salmon nigiri, rolls wrapped in thin salmon slices, cucumber and salmon maki, and plump uramaki, all arranged on a banana leaf with pickled ginger and wasabi. Fragrant rosemary sprigs add a playful garnish. Worth the effort for a celebration.

Method 6 steps

  1. Cook the rice with 3 1/3 cups water, rest 10 minutes, then fold in the warmed vinegar, sugar and salt with a slicing motion while fanning until glossy and body temperature.

  2. Slice half the salmon into 1/4-inch slices at an angle for nigiri and cut the rest into long batons and very thin sheets.

  3. For nigiri, shape 1 tablespoon of rice into an oval with damp hands, dab with wasabi and drape a salmon slice over the top.

  4. For maki, lay nori on a bamboo mat, spread a thin layer of rice leaving a 1-inch border, add salmon and cucumber batons, roll tightly and slice into 6 pieces.

  5. For inside-out rolls, spread rice over nori, flip, fill with salmon, avocado and cream cheese, roll and slice, then top some with thin salmon slices and a dot of spicy mayonnaise.

  6. Line a serving boat with banana leaf, arrange the sushi in rows, add ginger and wasabi and tuck in rosemary sprigs.
