Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1 whole mackerel filet
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
  • 2 shiso leaves
  • 1/2 chopped fresh jalapeno
  • 1 strip pickled yellow daikon radish
  • 2 pieces blanched asparagus
  • 1 sheet sushi seaweed

Method

  • Step 1

    Lightly salt both sides of the fish and leave in fridge overnight. The next day, pinbone the fish using tweezers and pat dry using a paper towel. Pan sear on medium high heat using canola oil. Cook fish all the way through. 

  • Step 2

    Cook the rice. Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice five times, until the water is clear. Strain, add rice to a pit, add 2.2 cups of cold water and bring to a simmer. Once rice is cooked, mix in 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sesame oil and mix well. Set aside.

  • Step 3

    Blanche the asparagus. In boiling water, cook asparagus for 45 seconds and then shock in an ice water bath. 

  • Step 4

    Now build your roll! Cover a sheet of seaweed with enough rice to cover the sheet. Add your filet of mackerel, yellow daikon, asparagus, jalapeno and shiso leaves. Roll using a sushi mat, cut the roll into small pieces and enjoy.
