  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 rolls (24-32 pieces) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice, cooked and seasoned
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1/2 pound smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • Soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for serving

Instructions

  1. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat.
  2. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small space at the top.
  3. Place smoked salmon, avocado slices, and cucumber strips along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.
  4. Lift the edge of the mat, and roll it over the ingredients to start forming the sushi roll. Press gently and continue to roll until it’s complete.
  5. Use a sharp, wet knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.
  6. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

Notes

  • Ensure the rice is at room temperature for easier handling.
  • The sushi roll can be made inside-out by flipping the rice-coated nori over before adding the fillings.
  • Squeeze lemon juice over the avocado slices to prevent browning.
