Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 5 sheets Nori sheets
• 0.5 pound Fresh salmon
• 1 Avocado
• 1 Cucumber
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 3 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold running water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over the cooked rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Slice the salmon into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Peel the cucumber and slice into long, thin strips.

Step 8

Lay a bamboo sushi mat flat on a clean surface and place a sheet of nori on top.

Step 9

Spread a thin even layer of seasoned sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 10

Arrange a few strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber along the center of the rice.

Step 11

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, applying gentle pressure to tighten and seal the roll.

Step 12

Slice the roll into 6-8 equal pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water for a clean cut.

Step 13

Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Step 14

Serve the salmon rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
