salmon nigiri
Raw fish rice
Salmon nigiri is a type of sushi consisting of a hand-pressed mound of vinegared rice topped with a slice of raw salmon.
The rice is typically shaped into an oblong pillow, with the fish draped over it.
Unlike rolls, nigiri showcases the fish as the dominant element: I'll have two salmon nigiri and a spicy tuna roll.
