Anna Hansen uses ingredients from all over the world to concoct this deliciously simple salmon sashimi sushi recipe. Popular in their native Japan, umeboshi are pickled umi fruits which add a sour kick to the dressing.
To prepare the toasted pumpkin seeds, add the salt and chilli flakes to a spice grinder and blitz to make a coarse powder. Combine with the pumpkin seeds and oil in a bowl and mix until combined
Spread the seed mix out onto a lined baking tray and toast in the oven for 20 minutes, mixing the seeds halfway through the cooking process

Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Store in a warm, dry place until required, or keep in an airtight container for up to 48 hours

Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the yuzu, argan oil, lime juice, mirin and chopped umeboshi in a bowl, then store in the fridge until required
Slice the salmon into 2-3mm thick strips. Divide evenly onto 4 plates and drizzle liberally with the dressing. Garnish with the toasted seed mix and serve immediately
Whether you call it 'fusion', 'global' or 'basically indescribable' is beside the point; Anna Hansen's food is without a doubt fresh and adventurous - you might even call it modern.
