Ingredients

• 1 cup (uncooked) Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon (sashimi-grade)
• 1 large Avocado
• 4 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Pickled ginger
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Slice the salmon into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips.

Step 5

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

Step 6

With wet hands, spread about 3/4 cup of the sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 7

Arrange strips of salmon and avocado along the edge of the rice closest to you.

Step 8

Starting from the edge closest to you, use the bamboo mat to gently roll the sushi away from you, pressing the filling together as you roll.

Step 9

Seal the roll by wetting the edge of the nori with water. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into bite-size pieces.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets, rice, salmon, and avocado.

Step 11

Serve with gluten-free soy sauce, pickled ginger, and a small amount of wasabi paste on the side.
