Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 ounces Fresh salmon
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 3 sheets Gluten-free nori sheets
• 4 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Slice the fresh salmon into thin strips, ensuring they are evenly sized for the rolls.

Step 7

Peel, pit, and slice the avocado into thin strips.

Step 8

Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice into matchstick-sized pieces.

Step 9

Lay a sheet of gluten-free nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down. Wet your fingers with water to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Spread a thin, even layer of prepared sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving the top third uncovered.

Step 11

Arrange a few strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 12

Carefully lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you, and begin rolling the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll.

Step 13

Seal the edge by moistening the exposed nori with a little water if needed.

Step 14

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 even pieces.

Step 15

Repeat the process to make additional rolls with the remaining ingredients.

Step 16

Serve the gluten-free Alaskan sushi rolls with gluten-free soy sauce on the side.
