Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Salmon fillet, sushi-grade
• 1 large Avocado
• 0 as needed for serving Soy sauce
• 0 as needed for serving Pickled ginger
• 0 as needed for serving Wasabi
• 1 Bamboo sushi mat
• 0 as needed Plastic wrap

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap.

Step 6

Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic-covered mat.

Step 7

With damp fingers, gently spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 8

Slice the sushi-grade salmon and the avocado into long, thin strips.

Step 9

Place a few strips of salmon and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Unroll the mat and set the roll seam-side down.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets, rice, salmon, and avocado.

Step 12

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces, cleaning the blade with a damp cloth between cuts for optimum precision.

Step 13

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