A fun and tasty way to enjoy responsibly farmed ASC labelled salmon – great for sharing and even better with little helpers in the kitchen!

  1. Cook the sushi rice according to packet instructions and allow it to cool completely.  
  2. Lightly grind the sesame seeds to release their oils and toast until golden and fragrant. Mix the sesame seeds with crushed nori, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of sugar to make a quick furikake-style seasoning. Stir this seasoning into the cooled rice.  
  3. Finely chop the salmon fillets until minced, then mix into the seasoned rice. With slightly damp hands, shape the mixture into balls (about 1 tablespoon per ball).  
  4. Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs. Roll each ball in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.  
  5. Place the balls in an air fryer and cook at 200°C for 10 minutes, or bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes, until golden and crispy.  
  6. To make the dipping sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small pan and warm gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth. 
  7. Serve the crispy salmon balls with the dipping sauce and a side of cucumber sticks or edamame beans.  
  8. Tip: These are perfect for lunchboxes, parties, or a fun weeknight dinner – and a great way to introduce kids to cooking with sustainable seafood.

This is my recipe for ASC certified seabream tacos – the true taste of summer. Sustainably farmed Mediterranean seabream, charred baby veg from the garden, and a mint & jalapeño whipped feta for that fresh kick. Cooked over charcoal for maximum flavour and minimum fuss. 

  1. Make the spiced butter by melting the butter and stirring in the Mexican spices, thyme, and fennel seeds. Set aside for brushing the fish. 
  2. Chargrill ook the veg over a preheated BBQ. Toss the courgettes, onion, pepper, and tomatoes with oil, lemon zest, and seaweed salt. Grill directly over hot charcoal until charred and softened. Slice once cool enough to handle. 
  3. Prepare the whipped feta in a food processor. Blend feta, yogurt, mint, jalapeños, lemon zest, and juice in a food processor until smooth. 
  4. Season the Sea Bream fillets with chilli salt and a little oil. Grill skin side down, pressing lightly to avoid curling. Brush with the spiced butter as they cook until the skin is crisp and the fish is just cooked through. 
  5. Warm the tortillas, then layer with salad leaves, a handful of charred veg, grilled seabream, and a generous spoonful of whipped feta. Finish with an extra drizzle of spiced butter.

If you’re not familiar with pangasius yet, it’s a mild, white fish with a texture similar to cod. Most pangasius sold in stores is already deboned, making it easy to work with – perfect for quick and tasty meals.

This foil-baked recipe combines pangasius with your favorite vegetables, flavored with a savory mix of miso and butter. It’s a simple, healthy dish that’s both comforting and nutritious. 

Choosing seafood with the ASC label also means you’re making a responsible choice that helps protect our oceans and ensures a sustainable future for the next generations. 

Instructions / Directions

  1. Pat dry the thawed pangasius fillets and cut each in half. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Thinly slice the onion, roughly chop the cabbage, cut the carrot into julienne strips, and trim the root end off the enoki mushrooms before cutting them in half.
  3. Spread out two large sheets of aluminum foil. Place half of the sliced onion on each sheet.
  4. Layer half of the seasoned fish on top of the onions, then add half of the remaining vegetables over the fish.
  5. Spoon half of the miso-mirin mixture (A) and half of the butter on top of each pile, then wrap tightly in foil.

Celebrate with a sushi cake that everyone loves! 

Sweet cakes are great, but why not try making this sushi cake with your family for a special occasion? While it’s well known for the Doll Festival in Japan, it’s also perfect for birthday parties, Christmas, or New Year’s. 

All you need to do is cook the rice, then top it with ASC certified salmon and your favorite ingredients. Decorating it together with your children makes it a fun experience—and even more delicious! 

By choosing seafood with the ASC label, you’re making a safe choice that helps protect future generations. 

Instructions / Directions

  1. Season the rice: In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. While the rice is still warm, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently mix in the vinegar mixture and sesame seeds using a cutting motion (a rice paddle works best). Fan the rice to cool it as you mix.
  2. Make the thin omelette (kinshi tamago): Beat the eggs with sugar and a pinch of salt. Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil. Pour in just enough egg to make a thin layer. Cook gently, then transfer to a plate. Repeat until all the egg is used. Stack the cooked layers, then slice into thin strips.
  3. Prep the fillings: Thinly slice the salmon and avocado. Have your sliced radish, cucumber, and herbs ready for topping.
  4. Assemble the cake: Line a 15 cm (6 inch) round cake mold with plastic wrap. Add half of the seasoned rice and press down gently. Layer with avocado, salmon, omelette strips, and shiso or basil leaf. Top with the remaining rice and press lightly.
  5. Finish and decorate: Turn the mold over onto a plate and peel off the plastic wrap. Top your sushi cake with more egg strips, slices of salmon, radish, cucumber, cress, and dill

  3. Wrap it up: Place another sheet of parchment on top and fold the edges to seal, leaving a little space inside for steam to circulate.  
  4. Bake: Place the parcel on a baking tray and bake for approx. 12 minutes. Then, let it rest in the foil for 5 minutes before opening.  
  5. Serve & enjoy! Carefully transfer the salmon to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh dill, and garnish with lemon slices. Pair it with your favourite spring sides – we love a crisp cucumber, radish & fennel salad, buttery new potatoes, and a creamy herby mayo!
