Ingredients

• 200 grams Salmon fillet, sushi-grade
• 1 cup Brown rice, cooked and cooled
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 small Avocado, thinly sliced
• 1 small Cucumber, julienned
• 1 small Carrot, julienned
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the salmon. Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon fillet into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cooked brown rice with rice vinegar. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients carefully until well combined. This will season the rice.

Step 3

Prepare your veggies by julienning the cucumber and carrot. Set these aside along with the avocado slices.

Step 4

Take one nori sheet and cut it in half with a pair of scissors. You will have two rectangles.

Step 5

Place the nori sheet with the shiny side down on a clean surface. Spread about two tablespoons of seasoned brown rice across one half of the nori.

Step 6

Layer a slice of salmon diagonally over the rice, add a few slices of avocado, some julienned cucumber, and carrot.

Step 7

Drizzle a small amount (about 1/2 teaspoon) of lemon juice over the filling, and sprinkle some fresh dill and sesame seeds on top.

Step 8

To roll the hand roll, start at the bottom right corner and fold the nori over the filling to form a cone shape, pressing gently to seal.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create four hand rolls.

Step 10

Serve your heart-healthy salmon hand rolls with a side of low-sodium soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy immediately for best freshness.
