Ingredients
- 200 grams Sushi-grade salmon
- 2 cups Cooked sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons Seasoned rice vinegar
- 4 large sheets Nori sheets (seaweed)
- 1 small Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 1 small Carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by preparing the sushi rice. If the rice is freshly cooked, allow it to cool slightly. Add the seasoned rice vinegar and gently fold it into the rice using a wooden spatula. Avoid squishing the grains. Cover with a damp cloth to keep the rice moist while preparing the other ingredients.
Step 2
2. Cut the sushi-grade salmon into thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide and 5–6 cm long. Place the salmon strips in a small bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to enhance freshness and flavor.
Step 3
3. Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips, and slice the avocado into thin, even sections. Set all veggies aside in separate bowls for easy assembly.
Step 4
4. Lay out the large nori sheets and cut them in half lengthwise. This will give you perfectly sized strips for temaki rolls.
Step 5
5. To assemble the temaki, take one piece of nori and place it in your hand with the rough side facing up. Place about 2 tablespoons of sushi rice on the left side of the nori sheet, spreading it gently to cover half the surface.
Step 6
6. Add one or two strips of salmon on top of the rice, followed by a small amount of julienned cucumber, carrot, and a slice of avocado.
Step 7
7. Drizzle a small amount of coconut aminos over the filling for a soy-free umami boost. Add a tiny dab of wasabi if you like heat.
Step 8
8. Fold the bottom left corner of the nori over the filling and roll it into a cone shape. Use a grain of rice to seal the edge if needed.
Step 9
9. Repeat the process with the remaining nori, rice, salmon, and vegetables until all ingredients are used.
Step 10
10. Serve immediately with additional coconut aminos for dipping and optional pickled ginger on the side. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful soy-free temaki salmon!
