1. A recording method comprising:
an adhesion step of adhering an ink composition to a recording medium,
wherein the recording medium is a low-absorbing recording medium or a non-absorbing recording medium,
the adhesion step is performed by scanning that is carried out by jetting the ink composition from an ink jet head to make the ink composition adhere to the recording medium while moving relative positions of the ink jet head and the recording medium,
the scanning is performed seven times or less on an identical region of the recording medium,
the ink composition is an aqueous ink containing a coloring material and a silicone-based surfactant A, and
a maximum peak of the silicone-based surfactant A in a molecular weight range of 300 or greater is present in a range of 3000 to 20000 in a molecular weight distribution obtained by gel permeation chromatography.
