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
- Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat.
- Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small space at the top.
- Place smoked salmon, avocado slices, and cucumber strips along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.
- 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.
- Use a sharp, wet knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.
- 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.
