We had some yellowtail sashimi the other day so I made Yellowtail Sushi Roll as appetizer. Unlike other kinds of sushi roll, this thin roll (we call it Hosomaki 細巻き) is really easy to make. Plus, these are not inside-out rolls (裏巻き) which require a bit more practice, so it’s perfect if you are trying to make sushi for the first time.

Yellowtail Sushi Roll

With a high fat content and buttery tender texture, sushi grade yellowtail (or Hamachi) is greatly enjoyed in Japan in sashimi or in sushi roll. To make sushi roll, you just need to chop up the fish into fine pieces before rolling them up with rice in nori sheets. If you’re not a fan of yellowtail (hamachi), you can easily substitute with tuna or salmon. I’ve included a tutorial video below on how make delicious Sushi Rolls (Hosomaki) at home. For step-by-step instructions, you can head over to this post for more tips and techniques.
