Ingredients

• 2 cups Sushi rice
• 2.5 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon
• 0.5 English cucumber
• 1 Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Black sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 0.25 cup Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or a saucepan. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions or bring to a boil in the saucepan, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.

Step 2

Transfer the hot rice to a large non-metallic mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar and salt dissolve, then let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Pour the vinegar mixture over the hot rice, gently folding it in using a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 4

While the rice is cooling, prepare the filling. Slice the salmon into long, thin strips. Peel and slice the cucumber into matchsticks. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips. Brush the avocado with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 5

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean work surface and place one nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.

Step 6

With wet fingers, evenly spread about a quarter of the prepared sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Lift the edge of the mat closest to you, and start rolling the sushi tightly over the filling, pressing firmly. Continue rolling until you reach the bare edge of the nori. Seal the roll by moistening the bare edge with water.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between each cut to ensure clean edges.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 11

Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top of each piece for garnish.

Step 12

Serve the rolls with wasabi, pickled ginger, and enjoy your Soy-Free Salmon Rolls!
