Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse and Cook the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to your rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Season the Rice
Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat in the microwave or on the stove until the sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the warm rice, gently folding it in with a spatula. Let it cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Salmon Filling
- 3
Prepare the Salmon
Cut the fresh salmon fillet into thin strips. In a separate bowl, mix the Sriracha sauce, mayonnaise, and chopped green onions. Add the salmon strips to this mixture, gently combining to coat the salmon evenly.
Assemble the Sushi Rolls
- 4
Prepare the Nori
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.
- 5
Spread the Rice
Take about a cup of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top edge. Press down gently to adhere the rice to the nori.

Add Fillings
In the center of the rice, place a line of the salmon filling, followed by a few strips of julienned cucumber and slices of avocado. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight. Continue rolling until you reach the edge of the nori. Moisten the edge with a little water to seal the roll.
- 8
Slice the Rolls
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve and Enjoy
