Ingredients

Steps

Salt the salmon and broil 8 minutes until cooked, then flake it and mix with the mayonnaise.
Wet your hands and rub them with salt so the rice won't stick.
Cup a handful of rice, press a spoon of salmon into the middle, and close the rice over it.
Shape into a firm triangle with three or four presses per side.
Wrap with a nori strip and sprinkle with sesame just before eating.
