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 or pot and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

Season the Rice

Assemble the Rolls
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a nori sheet shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange the salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Roll until the border of the nori is reached, then dab a little water on the edge to seal.

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