What it is

It is often presented in a way that preserves its freshness and delicate flavor, ready to be incorporated into your favorite sushi dishes or enjoyed on its own. The packaging is designed to maintain the integrity of the fish until it is time to prepare your meal.
How people cook with it

To prepare, carefully open the package and remove the salmon slices. For sushi rolls, place a slice of salmon over seasoned sushi rice and nori seaweed, then roll tightly. For nigiri, shape a small mound of rice and top with a slice of salmon. You can also serve the slices as sashimi, accompanied by soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi. Ensure the salmon is handled hygienically and consumed promptly after opening for the best quality and taste. It is ready to eat without further cooking.
