Why salmon is the most popular fish for sushi
Salmon is without a doubt the most popular fish for sushi, and there are several good reasons for that. Its mild flavor, soft texture, and beautiful orange color make salmon a favorite among both beginners and experienced sushi lovers. In authentic Japanese sushi, tuna has traditionally been more common, but in Europe, salmon has truly taken first place. One reason is that salmon is more widely available and perfectly matches the flavors many Europeans prefer. The combination of fresh salmon, perfectly cooked sushi rice, and Japanese ingredients creates a harmonious balance of umami, richness, and freshness. At the same time, salmon is incredibly versatile. It works perfectly in hosomaki, futomaki, and popular uramaki rolls. With the right Japanese cutting techniques, salmon can be presented beautifully and give sushi an elegant appearance. At a Sushi course for beginners, you will learn which cutting techniques are best suited for sushi rolls. _ Zoë has held sushi courses and cooking classes for A. P.

What is the best way to store sushi in a refrigerator?
Sushi is a dish that tends to dry out easily if it is stored the wrong way. All ingredients used in sushi are fresh and raw. You know it from tomatoes. If you cut a tomato allow it to lie without being wrapped properly the surface will dry. The same thing happens with sushi. It does not taste very good. What causes sushi to dry out easily is the direct contact with air. Sushi should be stored in an airtight container. If that is not possible, let us say you bought sushi for a dinner and it takes up a lot of space in your fridge. The next best thing to do is to wrap cling film tightly around the sushi so that no air gets in. It is important to wrap in such a way that the individual pieces of sushi do not break. Sushi should always be eaten at room temperature. It tastes the best. Approx. 15 minutes before you sit down to eat, you take the sushi out of the fridge and leave it on the kitchen table (without a lid). You do not always have to buy sushi. On the Sushi course for beginners, you learn …
