Help support our seafood sector
Seafood NZ is supporting the call to eat local and champion Kiwi seafood after the Ministry for Primary Industries forecasted a 1.4 per cent drop in seafood exports to the year ending June 2021.
To inspire Kiwis to indulge in healthy, sustainable seafood, Best Foods has teamed up with seven of Aotearoa’s finest recipe creators to develop delicious seafood dishes which are available for Kiwis to cook themselves at bestfoods.co.nz/eatfush. Here is a yummy dish to try:

Recipe by Bunny Eats Design / Genie De
Wit
Ingredients
3⁄4 cup Best Foods Mayonnaise
3 tsp wasabi paste
3 rice cups sushi rice
1⁄4 cup rice vinegar
2 Tbsp white sugar
1 tsp table salt
300g cold/hot smoked salmon, sliced/ flaked
1 cup sliced cucumber
1 cup edamame beans (shelled)
1 cup julienned capsicum
1⁄4 cup thinly sliced red onion 1 avocado, sliced
Pickled ginger
4 tsp soy sauce for sushi/sashimi Optional: Furikake seasoning or sesame seeds
Method
In a small bowl or jar, whisk the Best Foods Mayonnaise and wasabi paste until combined and set aside.
Place rice in a large bowl. Rinse rice in water and drain. Repeat rinse 2-3 times. Place rice into a rice cooker and add water to the 3 cup line and set to cook.
While the rice is cooking, place rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan and bring to simmer. Whisk until sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool. Once rice is cooked, remove from heat and stir with a rice paddle. Gently fold in the vinegar mixture until combined.
To assemble: Divide rice into 4 bowls and arrange the smoked salmon, cucumber, edamame beans, capsicum, red onion and avocado slices on top of the rice in a ring around the bowl.
Add a heaped spoonful of wasabi mayo to the centre of the bowl along with some pickled ginger. Drizzle the vegetables with soy sauce and scatter all over with furikake seasoning or sesame seeds. Enjoy! –
