Preparing Salmon Sushi at Home

Step 1: Handling and Storage
Keep your Salmon Loin (Skinless) Sushi Grade chilled at all times. It should be stored at 0–4°C until you’re ready to prepare it. Sushi-grade salmon is carefully handled to meet safety standards for raw consumption.

Step 2: Proper Slicing
Using a sharp knife, slice the salmon against the grain into thin, even pieces. For sashimi, aim for slices about ¼ inch thick. For nigiri, cut slightly thicker pieces that can drape over seasoned rice.
