Ingredients

• 250 g sashimi-grade salmon
• 4 cups freshly cooked sushi rice
• 2 spring onions, very thinly sliced
• ½ tsp toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• pinch of sugar

1. Cut the salmon into 1-cm wide slices.
2. Divide the hot cooked rice between 2 bowls. Scatter a few of the spring onions and a pinch of sesame seeds over the top. Arrange the salmon in a single layer on top.
3. Using a kitchen blowtorch (or a wire whisk heated over a flame), scorch the salmon until lightly burnt.
