Salmon Sushi

Sushi is one of the few cuisines I would prefer to eat at a restaurant. With an expert preparing my food. But I rarely get to go out for dinner, and that means breaking out the sushi mat and rice wine vinegar at home. While the techniques tend to range toward more advanced, the ingredients are simple.  And anytime the ingredients are simple, the plating has to be stepped up to compensate. Which is both scary and freeing at the same time.
