Loaded with two kinds of salmon and plenty of creamy Kewpie mayonnaise, this Japanese-inspired finger food Christmas tree doesn't need any gifts stashed underneath – it's a gift in itself!

Ingredients

645g (3 cups) sushi rice
185ml (3/4 cup) sushi seasoning
6 nori sheets
80g (1/2 cup) sesame seeds, toasted
125.00 ml chopped parsley
Kewpie mayonnaise
300g (2 pieces) hot smoked salmon, skin removed, flaked
1 lemon
Salmon roe, to decorate
Soy sauce, to serve
Wasabi, to serve

Method

1
Cook rice following packet directions. Drizzle with sushi seasoning. Use a large metal spoon to combine. Set aside to cool completely.
2
Cover surface of bamboo sushi mat with plastic wrap. Place 1 nori sheet on a chopping board. Use wet hands to spread 1½ cups rice in an even layer over nori, covering completely. Combine sesame seeds and parsley in a bowl. Sprinkle 2 tbs evenly over surface of rice.
3
Place mat on top of rice. Use the chopping board to invert so sushi mat is underneath. Squeeze a line of mayonnaise across nori, leaving a 3cm gap at edge closest to you. Arrange salmon beside mayonnaise.
4
Use mat to roll rice and nori firmly around filling. Wrap sushi roll in plastic wrap to make a firm log. Place roll in the fridge while you make the remaining rolls.
5
Use a sharp knife to trim roll ends, leaving plastic wrap around roll. Cut each roll into six slices. Remove and discard plastic.
6
Arrange 11 pieces of sushi on a platter. Top with another 9 pieces, then 7, then 5, then 3 and 1 on top to create a tree shape.
7
Cut 1 large piece of rind from the lemon. Remove pith. Use a 5cm star pastry cutter to cut out a star. Use a toothpick to secure to the top of the sushi tree. Decorate with salmon roe. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi for dipping.
