Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Cooked salmon fillet
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 small Cucumber
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or saucepan. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil on the stove, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the cooked salmon into long thin strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it into even strips. Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin matchsticks.

Step 6

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and top with a sheet of plastic wrap. Position a nori sheet shiny-side down against the wrap.

Step 7

Spread about 1/4 of the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Arrange strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the center of the rice.

Step 9

Lift the bamboo mat, using the plastic wrap to help, and roll the sushi away from you, keeping it tight until you reach the top border of the nori.

Step 10

Dampen the top edge of the nori with a little water and press it onto the roll to seal.

Step 11

Repeat steps 6-9 with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 12

Using a very sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.

Step 13

Serve with gluten-free soy sauce for dipping.
