Method

  1. Cook and season the rice

  2. Line the pan

    • Line the springform pan with the nori sheets, overlapping them so the base and sides are covered.
    • Arrange the smoked salmon slices in a single even layer over the nori.

    • Spread half of the seasoned rice over the salmon and press it down firmly.
