Aburi salmon oshi sushi · Vancouver
Aburi salmon oshi sushi is flame-seared BC salmon pressed onto sushi rice in a rectangular box, topped with miso, then torched. The dish is a Vancouver-invented sushi format, defining the Miku and Minami menus.
Aburi-style flame-seared pressed sushi was popularised by chef Seigo Nakamura at Miku Vancouver, which opened on Granville Street in 2008. The Aburi salmon oshi sushi takes pressed Osaka-style box sushi and flame-sears the salmon top, finished with miso. The dish became Vancouver's most-photographed sushi format. Sister Minami opened in Yaletown the same year.
