Salmon Roe Nigiri Sushi

Salmon roe nigiri sushi is a popular type of sushi made with cured salmon eggs. It is often served as a single piece, with the roe draped across a bed of vinegared rice. The roe itself is cured in a mix of salt and sugar, which helps to bring out its flavor and give it a slightly salty, sweet taste. The roe is then draped across the rice and may be garnished with other ingredients such as shiso leaf or scallions. Salmon roe nigiri sushi is a delightful treat and a great way to enjoy the natural flavors of the fish.
