Ingredients

• 5 pieces Nori sheets
• 250 grams Fresh salmon (sushi-grade)
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 75 grams Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi paste (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the salmon: Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips about 1 cm wide and 5 cm long. Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables: Slice the cucumber into thin julienne strips. Cut the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice into thin strips. Drizzle the avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, soy sauce (or tamari), and wasabi paste (if using). Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the nori sheets: Using a pair of scissors or a knife, cut each nori sheet in half lengthwise to create rectangular pieces suitable for rolling temaki.

Step 5

Assemble the temaki: Place one rectangular nori sheet shiny side down on a clean, dry surface. Position the sheet so that the shorter side is closest to you.

Step 6

Add a small dollop of cream cheese (approximately 1 teaspoon) to the center of the nori near the bottom edge. Spread it gently but keep it contained within the middle third of the sheet.

Step 7

Layer the fillings: Arrange a few strips of salmon, cucumber, and avocado diagonally across the center of the nori sheet.

Step 8

Drizzle with the prepared sauce: Add a small drizzle of the mayonnaise-soy sauce over the fillings.

Step 9

Roll the temaki: Starting from the bottom corner closest to you, fold the nori sheet over the fillings and roll diagonally into a cone shape. Press gently to seal the edge.

Step 10

Repeat the process: Continue assembling until all nori sheets and fillings are used.

Step 11

Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the top of each temaki with toasted sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor. Serve immediately with additional soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
