Salmon Nigiri with Fried Shallot Crunch
Golden shallots bring a savory crunch to silky fish. Shaping nigiri is easier than it looks once the rice is seasoned properly and your hands are damp.

Salmon Nigiri with Fried Shallot Crunch is all about balance between cool fish and warm, lightly seasoned rice. Buy salmon labeled for raw eating and keep it on ice right up to the moment you slice it; cold fish cuts cleaner and tastes sweeter. A small dish of pickled ginger between bites keeps the palate fresh.
