Yes, I ate that. I even made that. And so can you – make that and eat that, I mean – at the sushi-making workshop I’m giving this Saturday night.
I don’t give these frequently anymore, so it’s a great chance to eat some better-than-most-restaurants sushi (at least in Montreal). I say that because I use no farmed Atlantic salmon (which is generally doused in antibiotics and is sometimes even dyed) or other unsustainable fish. The fish above is not dyed. It’s just photographed beautifully by food photographer Sylvie Li.
I bought the King salmon whole, filleted it, skinned it and sliced it myself. And that first mouthful was buttery heaven.
If you want to learn more about Pacific vs. Atlantic and wild vs. farmed salmon and eat real crab California rolls, learn to slice sashimi and properly shape nigiri, make perfect sushi rice, drink quality saké and slice delicious maki, come to the sushi-making class.
