Ingredients

• 1 large Cucumber
• 200 grams Fresh Salmon
• 1 medium Avocado
• 50 grams Cream Cheese
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
• 30 grams Pickled Ginger (optional)
• 2 sheets Nori Sheets
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cucumber. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to cut the cucumber lengthwise into thin, even slices. Set the slices aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

Step 2

Take the fresh salmon and ensure there are no bones. Slice the salmon into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 4

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap over it.

Step 5

On top of the plastic wrap, place one nori sheet. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the nori sheet.

Step 6

Arrange the cucumber slices lengthwise on the nori, slightly overlapping to cover fully.

Step 7

Next, layer the salmon strips and avocado slices evenly over the cucumber.

Step 8

Carefully, using the sushi mat and plastic wrap, roll the nori sheet tightly, making sure all the ingredients are enclosed.

Step 9

Once rolled, sprinkle sesame seeds over the roll for added flavor and texture.

Step 10

Slice the roll into evenly sized pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Step 11

Serve the rolls on a platter with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and garnish.
