Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spatula. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Nori
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean cutting board.

Spread the Rice
With wet hands, take a handful of sushi rice and evenly spread it over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Add Fillings
Layer the salmon, cucumber, avocado, and a thin layer of cream cheese horizontally across the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

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