Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once done, transfer the rice to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat briefly in the microwave until sugar dissolves, then pour over the cooked rice. Gently fold the rice to mix the seasoning without mashing the grains. Let it cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fillings

    Slice the fresh salmon fillet, cucumber, and avocado into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Rolls

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Place the salmon, cucumber, and avocado strips in the center of the rice.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori away from you, pressing gently but firmly to create a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
