Ingredients

• 200 grams salmon fillet
• 2 sheets nori sheets
• 150 grams sushi rice
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 small cucumber
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Step 2

Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice to flavor it.

Step 4

Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado, setting them aside for later use.

Step 5

Cut the salmon fillet into thin strips, about 1cm wide.

Step 6

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 7

Spread half of the seasoned rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 2cm border at the top for sealing.

Step 8

Line the bottom third of the rice with half of the salmon, avocado, and cucumber slices.

Step 9

Use the bamboo mat to roll the sushi, firmly but gently, starting from the bottom. Apply slight pressure to form a tight roll.

Step 10

Seal the roll by dampening the top edge with a little water and pressing down gently.

Step 11

Repeat with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.

Step 12

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep it clean.

Step 13

Serve the rolls with low sodium soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger for additional flavor.
