Ingredients

• 1.5 cups sushi rice
• 2 cups water
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 8 ounces fresh salmon, sushi-grade
• 1 medium avocado
• 0.5 small cucumber
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 teaspoon wasabi
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gradually fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spoon or rice paddle until evenly distributed. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Thinly slice the salmon into even strips, and peel and slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips as well.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean work surface and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 7

Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Spread about 3/4 cup of the seasoned rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top for sealing.

Step 8

Arrange a row of salmon strips, cucumber, and avocado along the middle of the rice.

Step 9

To roll, lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you and tightly roll it over the filling, applying gentle pressure. Use a little water on the exposed nori border to seal the roll.

Step 10

With a sharp knife dipped in water, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Repeat with remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free Alaska rolls with gluten-free soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
