For the Salmon Roll
Method
Instructions
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes.
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice using a wooden spoon or spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Fillings
Slice the fresh salmon fillet into thin strips. Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado into thin pieces.
Assemble the Rolls
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange the salmon, cucumber, and avocado slices in a line across the rice.
Roll it Up
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly. Roll until you reach the border of the nori, then wet the edge with a little water to seal the roll.
Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
