Notes
Salmon: Ask at your friendly seafood counter in the supermarket for sushi grade salmon, wild-caught if possible. (And this recipe also works great with tuna steaks as well – again, ask for sushi grade.)
Avocado: Avocados are notorious for being sold when they are as hard as rocks, so get yours a few days ahead of time so it has time to soften – it should give just slightly when you press on it.
Soy Sauce: We ALWAYS recommend the low sodium variety.
Sesame Oil: Look for this in the international foods aisle.
