Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon (sashimi-grade)
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 5 whole Nori sheets
• 0.25 cup Dairy-free mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 3

Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the cooked rice, and allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

While the rice is cooling, cut the salmon into thin strips approximately 1/2 inch wide.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Peel the cucumber and slice into thin matchstick pieces.

Step 8

Mix the dairy-free mayonnaise with the lemon juice and, if desired, add finely chopped fresh dill for a herby flavor.

Step 9

Lay a nori sheet on a clean, dry surface. Spread about 1/2 cup of the prepared sushi rice over the left third of the nori sheet, pressing gently and leaving a border around the edges.

Step 10

Place a few strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber on top of the rice.

Step 11

Drizzle a small amount of the prepared mayonnaise over the filling.

Step 12

Sprinkle a few toasted sesame seeds over the ingredients.

Step 13

Fold the bottom left corner over the filling and begin rolling the nori into a cone shape using water to seal the edge.

Step 14

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 15

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and tasty Soy-Free Salmon Hand Rolls.
