Method
- Sprinkle sea salt on salmon filet and let rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine maple syrup, rice (or white wine) vinegar and wasabi paste.
- Place the filet in a deep dish and pour the maple syrup mix over it. Let it marinate for about 5 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Cut the filet into 7 cm (2 3/4 in) thick slices, then cut each one into thin, 6 mm (1/4 in) slices cutting across the grain of the fish.
- Roll each slice up in a piece of dried seaweed sheet (nori) and serve with marinated ginger and slices of cucumber.
