Ingredients

• 200 grams Fresh salmon fillet
• 160 grams Japanese sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 0.5 pieces Cucumber
• 0.5 pieces Avocado
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice become sticky when cooked.

Step 2

Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions or using a rice cooker until it becomes tender.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the fresh salmon fillet into thin, long strips suitable for rolling. It's important to ensure the salmon is very fresh and ideally sushi-grade.

Step 6

Prepare the vegetables: peel and cut the cucumber into thin strips, peel and slice the avocado, and chop the green onions finely.

Step 7

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a clean kitchen surface or sushi rolling mat.

Step 8

Spread a quarter of the cooled sushi rice evenly over one half of the nori sheet, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.

Step 9

On top of the rice, place two strips of salmon, cucumber, avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.

Step 10

Squeeze a small line of wasabi paste along the filling if you desire a little extra kick.

Step 11

To roll, start from the edge with the rice and fillings, lifting the nori and rolling it towards the other side, creating a cone shape. Seal the edge with a few grains of rice to stick the nori closed.

Step 12

Repeat the process for the remaining 3 handrolls.

Step 13

Serve immediately with low-sodium soy sauce for dipping and any leftover wasabi.
