I totally agree with the prior reviewers regarding the grade of salmon, or any other fish, when you're making sushi. We live over an hour from Dallas, and there's just no such store here to buy the necessary grade, so you have to "cook" it with lime and lemon. Otherwise, thanks for the recipe. I also follow a Japanese recipe book for the rice.

The other reviewer had it right -- you MUST use sushi-grade fish if you are going to make raw sushi. It's irresponsible not to point that out. Having said that, I followed the recipe and added the juice of 2 limes and 1 lemon to "cook" the fish sufficiently (think ceviche prior to assembling the rolls. It turned out great and everyone loved the flavors/textures and I wasn't freaking out about making anyone sick.

Giada, I love you and you are the inspiration to many dishes I make. I was so excited to watch the "California Sushi" episode but much to my horror.... I am left slapping my forehead and yelling at you on my TV.
People, PLEASE make sure you have "sashimi grade" fish that you trust from a TOP QUALITY fish monger. You can also mail order full sushi making kits with fish and all from great companies. There are many in San Deigo, just use your Google.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Sushi, been to Japan a thousand times if not more....

If you have to find a JP restaurant to buy the rice, you might as well buy the Sushi take out. Besides,still have to find the hight quality fish, and all the other ingredients.

Perhaps not a good idea to teach making sushi, if you cannot make the rice for it.
Giada should stick with her Italian cooking, I like many of her other recipes.

Everyone loved it. Very easy recipe and delicious. The asparagus was a healthy and decorative touch.

The recipe looks great but I am surprised by one thing. Both the recipe and the actual show fail to warn you about the grade of fish you should use when making sushi.
You should always buy Sashimi grade fish if you plan to eat it raw. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA recommends freezing at -35?C (-31?F for 15 hours, or at -20?C (-4?F for 7 days.
This is much colder than your average freezer goes. Be sure that you keep these things in mind before you prepare this recipe or others like it.

Maybe because I cook Japanese dishes a lot, all recipes from this Episode were just awful.
Asparagus doesn't work with Salmon in Sushi for me.
She said it is a a little bit hard to make sushi rice, but it's really not big deal to make sushi rice. In fact, it is hard to find store bought sushi rice for many places.

In this Episode, Japanese guys are talking in Japanese, and Giada and her friend were kinda giggling after they hear strange language. You know, sometime that can be really offensive to many people especially for the Asian in this case.
