Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams sea bass fillet
• 0.5 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium avocado
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 sheets seaweed sheets (nori)
• 50 grams salmon roe
• 2 sprigs fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the sea bass fillet into long strips, about 1 cm thick. Set aside.

Step 6

Peel and slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine olive oil and lemon juice. Brush this mixture over the sea bass slices.

Step 8

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet fingers, spread a thin, even layer of cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 9

Arrange strips of sea bass, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 10

Roll the sushi tightly but gently, using the mat to form a cylinder and seal the edge with water.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into 8 equal pieces.

Step 12

Top each sushi piece with a small dollop of salmon roe and a sprig of fresh dill.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create 4 rolls total.

Step 14

Serve the Mediterranean Diet Classic Fish and Roe Sushi Rolls fresh with soy sauce or tamari and wasabi on the side.
