Salmon sushi can be traced back to the Edo period (1603- 1868), but it was called Yi at that time. It was not until the AD1820s that sushi began to have its present concept, which was shaped like salmon and soaked in vinegar, hence the name salmon sushi.

Sushi was invented by the Japanese and salmon sushi was invented by the Norwegians. In order to expand seafood exports, the Norwegian delegation uses salmon to make sushi, and it takes a while to get used to eating raw salmon. The idea was finally accepted and became a popular sushi.
