Salmon Avocado Roll Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the cooked rice and gently fold it in. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare the Filling

   Slice the raw salmon fillet into thin strips. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips as well.

4. 4

   Assemble the Roll

   Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay one nori sheet shiny side down on the mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Arrange the salmon and avocado strips in a line across the center of the rice.

5. 5

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, lift the edge closest to you and start rolling away from you, pressing gently but firmly to form a tight roll. Roll all the way to the edge of the nori, wetting it slightly to seal the roll.

6. 6

   Slice the Roll

   Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
