Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 1 cucumber
• 1 avocado
• 200 grams fresh salmon fillet
• 1 orange
• 0.25 cup gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Add the vinegar mixture while gently folding the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Thinly slice the cucumber lengthwise into long matchsticks. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice into strips. Slice the salmon into thin strips.

Step 6

Peel the orange, removing as much of the white pith as possible, and segment it into thin slices.

Step 7

Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a sushi mat. With wet hands, evenly spread a quarter of the rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Lift the mat at the edge closest to you and begin to roll, applying even pressure. Roll until you reach the rice-free border, and seal the roll by moistening the border with a little water.

Step 10

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

Step 11

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 8 pieces. Top each piece with a thin slice of orange.

Step 12

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