Season the Rice
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.

Spread Sushi Rice

Add Fillings
Place a line of salmon, cucumber, avocado, carrot, and a thin layer of cream cheese horizontally across the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the sushi mat away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the roll tight. Continue rolling until you reach the exposed edge of the nori, and seal with a little water.
