Instructions
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a large bowl and let it cool slightly.
Season Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold it in with a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Prepare Fillings
Slice the Atlantic salmon fillet and cucumber into thin strips.
Assemble Sake Maki
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. Place a few strips of salmon and cucumber in the center of the rice.
Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
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.
