Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon fillet
• 1 whole Ripe avocado
• 1 whole Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

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, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed.

Step 3

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until combined. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice is cooling, slice the salmon into thin strips, ensuring there are no bones or skin. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice into thin strips. Peel and julienne the cucumber.

Step 6

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a nori sheet shiny side down on the mat.

Step 7

Wet your hands with water and spread about 1/3 cup of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Press the rice down gently and evenly.

Step 8

Along the center of the rice, arrange a strip of salmon, a few slices of avocado, and some cucumber strips.

Step 9

Use the sushi mat to roll the nori tightly over the fillings, pressing gently to form a roll. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll.

Step 10

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 11

With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the blade with a wet cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 12

On a serving plate, sprinkle the rolls with toasted sesame seeds and serve with gluten-free soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger.
