Ingredients

• 200 grams Smoked salmon
• 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
• 100 grams Quinoa
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Dill
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 sheets Seaweed sheets (nori)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. Place it in a saucepan with 200 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

Step 2

While the quinoa cools, slice the cucumber into thin strips using a knife or mandoline. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin pieces.

Step 3

In a small bowl, blend together the low-fat cream cheese, lemon juice, finely chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 4

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean, dry surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the nori, leaving about 1 cm border at the top edge.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of cooked quinoa over the cream cheese, gently pressing it down.

Step 6

Arrange slices of smoked salmon, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom third of the nori sheet.

Step 7

Using the sushi mat, gently roll the nori away from you, tucking the ingredients with your fingers as you go. Press gently to secure the roll.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once all rolls are made, use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6-8 pieces. Serve immediately with a side of soy sauce or enjoy alone for a protein-packed meal.
