Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 pound Fresh salmon (sushi-grade)
• 1 Avocado
• 4 Nori sheets
• 0 (for serving) Soy sauce
• 0 (for serving) Pickled ginger
• 0 (for serving) Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 20 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Heat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop to dissolve the sugar and salt. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula. Let it cool until it's warm but not hot.

Step 5

Thinly slice the salmon into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat work surface. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.

Step 8

With wet hands, spread a thin layer of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Place salmon and avocado slices in a line across the center of the rice.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi tightly, pressing gently to shape the roll.

Step 11

Dampen the edge of the nori to seal the roll.

Step 12

Repeat with remaining ingredients to make three more rolls.

Step 13

Using a sharp, wet knife, slice each roll into six to eight pieces.

Step 14

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
