Smoked Salmon And Jicama Maki Sushi Rolls Recipes

SMOKED SALMON SUSHI ROLL

Steps:

• Soak rice for 4 hours. Drain rice and cook in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water. Rice must be slightly dry as vinegar will be added later.
• Immediately after rice is cooked, mix in 6 tablespoons rice vinegar to the hot rice. Spread rice on a plate until completely cool.
• Place 1 sheet of seaweed on bamboo mat, press a thin layer of cool rice on the seaweed. Leave at least 1/2 inch top and bottom edge of the seaweed uncovered. This is for easier sealing later. Dot some wasabi on the rice. Arrange cucumber, avocado and smoked salmon to the rice. Position them about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of the seaweed.
• Slightly wet the top edge of the seaweed. Roll from bottom to the top edge with the help of the bamboo mat tightly. Cut roll into 8 equal pieces and serve. Repeat for other rolls.

SMOKED SALMON ON TOAST OR JICAMA HEARTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With a biscuit cutter or heart shaped cutter, cut out heart shapes (can be done in advance). Brush melted butter on both sides of the bread and set them on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until toasts are golden brown; remove and set aside until later. (Or, for low cal alternative, cut wide thin slices of jicama, then cut out heart shapes from those - can be done in advance, and kept in dampened cloth in the refrigerator.) Combine olive oil and lime juice and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set two "heart" shaped toast points or jicama slices in middle of a dinner plate. Heart points should meet in center and overlap each other slightly. Roll up or drape a slice of smoked salmon in the middle of each heart and brush with olive oil and rice vinegar dressing. For a professional looking presentation, scatter dill and chives over everything; including the plate. At last minute, coarsely grind fresh pepper over the top.

SALMON NORI MAKI

Steps:

• Slice the salmon lengthwise into 4 to 5-inch long sheets about 1/4-inch thick. Place two slices on plastic wrap, salt and pepper fish, lay a sheet or nori on top. Place strips of squash on top of nori sprinkle with scallions, place another piece of plastic wrap on top and roll. Set in refrigerator to set (may be made in advance, up to this point.)
• Remove plastic wrap and heat a saute pan with 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Saute roll in pan rotating every minute. Depending on desired temperature- approximately 4 minutes of cooking time. Deglaze with soy sauce.
