After trying many different methods all over the net, the best is get Costco Atlantic Salmon in a bag (3 pound size) US$26. It's cut up in 1/2 lb bags of 6 or 7 inside. If you want to be super safe, leave it in freezer for 7 days (since none of us have the deep freezing machine) but FDA recommends 7 days in home freezers. Or you can take a chance if you can't wait (but that's not my advice). When u r ready to eat, open one or more packs while frozen, "submerge" it in salt cold water mix (use sea salt 6 tablespoons or more), leave it for 30 mins, and it's defrosted!!! Then take it out, dry with paper towel, put it in a zip lock bag for 5 hrs (in fridge not freezer). Then just cut and eat the sashimi. Reason for the frozen Atlantic salmon is because the other ones next to the meat packs always end up with the fishy smell, and sometimes live worms. The frozen ones have zero smell. And don't use vinegar, it makes the dull color without any benefits. You ended up having to cut and throw away half of it just to make it look pretty. So do salt water is all that's needed to draw the water out and make the texture more firm. It's also the salt that makes it glow brighter orange. And the color is great. I only need to cut away the part near the fish backbone, and the rest look perfect color. Also watch some other video on how to cut it. A sashimi cut is different than a sushi cut. The sashimi cut is thicker and easier. And remember to cut it 90 degrees from the grain, so it looks like a zebra pattern and it will look just like the restaurants. To decorate it, peel some daikon, a piece of leaf and some lemon peel and you can open your own restaurant then.

48 hrs freeze is only for commercial freezer. You have to freeze for 7 days with a regular home freezer

Holy CRAP!!! Thank you very much for demonstrating your technique.

Hi chef. Would you use the same process for any kind of fish, like Tuna or flounder? If not, could you show us your process for other fish? Thanks.

Thank you so much for this instructional video. I have wild caught Alaskan salmon that was gifted to me by the fisherman. I am hoping to have it ready as sashimi by this Sunday.

After seeing 4-5 videos in both, spanish and english, I can say that your video has all the info I was looking for, since first step to the last, no just the curated part but also the prep after the freezing, THANKS A LOT! (I did not check de grammar and typing w/translator so sorry if my english is bad :P)

“Don’t judge me!” As I was about to start judging him for that wasabi. 😂

[tormentedsoul]

Thank you for the recipe or technique. I always wondered how you prepare the salmon. Thanks

I love when he says "don't judge me" in his videos. Lol

Looks amazing! 2 questions, though:
1. How long will sushi like this keep in a fridge?
2. Is removing the skin a safety or a taste/texture preference issue? I like the skin on salmon after its cooked, so there shouldn't be any issues if I toast/grill the skin after curing to make chips or something like that to eat with the sushi, right?

[Nrichmond]

I watch it all your videos in yt. The best video on yt Chanel. Thanks chef 🙏🏽

[sdaniel]

you're making sushi with wild salmon? I thought you had to freeze it for 7 days and -20 Celsius or two days and -35 Celsius?

[Juan-fihc]

So cool love Simon not only in sushi 🍣 but with plain rice and veggies 😎

[keironelliott]

Thank you so much. This turned out amazingly. I need to get better with the knife so I get more to eat but still had so much. Does this work with Tina or other meat? Or is the process different?

Who is playing on the music track in the background??? I NEED TO KNOW!!!

[BlueSkyLissa]

[carinaramos]
