Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Raw salmon (sushi-grade)
• 1 tablespoon Gluten-free tamari sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, julienned
• 0.5 Avocado, sliced thinly
• 2 Gluten-free nori sheets
• 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 piece Plastic wrap
• 1 Bamboo sushi mat

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine 1 cup of sushi rice with 1.25 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cut the salmon into thin strips (approximately 1/4 inch wide) and marinate with gluten-free tamari sauce in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to create the spicy mayo.

Step 5

Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the bamboo sushi mat. Place one sheet of gluten-free nori, shiny side down, on the wrapped mat.

Step 6

Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge uncovered.

Step 7

Flip the nori so the rice is facing down against the plastic wrap. Arrange salmon strips, cucumber, avocado slices, and a drizzle of spicy mayo horizontally across the center of the nori.

Step 8

Use the bamboo mat to tightly roll the nori, starting at the bottom edge, keeping the fillings centered. Press firmly with the mat to shape the roll.

Step 9

Carefully remove the plastic wrap and slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, using a sharp knife dipped in water for clean cuts.

Step 10

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the roll if desired and serve immediately with additional spicy mayo or gluten-free tamari sauce for dipping.
