Aburi Seared Salmon

What this is

Aburi Seared Salmon is a luxurious sushi dish that combines the rich flavour of fresh salmon with the smoky, caramelised notes achieved through delicate searing. Lightly torched to perfection, the salmon retains its buttery softness while developing a slightly crispy, golden exterior. This aburi-style preparation enhances the natural umami of the salmon, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s both rich and refined.

How it is made

Our Aburi Seared Salmon begins with premium, sashimi-grade salmon, known for its vibrant colour and rich texture. The salmon is lightly seared using a blowtorch, which caramelises the surface while keeping the centre tender and raw. This creates a beautiful contrast between the smoky, cooked exterior and the fresh, creamy interior. The salmon is then placed atop perfectly seasoned sushi rice, which has been steamed and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. A final touch of soy sauce, yuzu, or a drizzle of special aburi sauce enhances the flavour, making each bite an unforgettable experience.

Where it is sourced

Our salmon is sustainably sourced from Australian and New Zealand waters, ensuring top-quality, sashimi-grade fish with a focus on environmental responsibility. We work with local suppliers to guarantee that the salmon is fresh and ethically harvested. The sushi rice is sourced from Japan, selected for its texture and quality, ensuring that it complements the rich, seared salmon perfectly.

Flavour profile

Aburi Seared Salmon offers a dynamic and indulgent flavour profile. The torched salmon has a smoky, slightly caramelised outer layer that contrasts beautifully with the buttery, rich interior. The seasoned sushi rice adds a mild sweetness and tang, balancing the savoury, umami-rich taste of the seared salmon. Each bite is a perfect blend of textures and flavours, with a light, smoky depth that enhances the salmon’s natural richness without overpowering it.
