Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Fresh salmon
• 2 pieces Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 1 stalk Green onions
• 1 whole Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked rice to a large, shallow bowl. Gradually add the vinegar mixture, gently folding the rice with a spatula to combine. Allow rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Chop the fresh salmon into small, bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to create spicy mayo.

Step 5

Finely chop the green onion and set it aside for garnish.

Step 6

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel the skin. Cut into thin strips.

Step 7

Place a sheet of nori on the bamboo rolling mat, shiny side down. With wet hands, evenly spread half of the prepared sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 8

Spread half of the spicy mayo mixture over the layer of rice. Arrange half of the salmon pieces in a line about 1-inch from the bottom edge of the rice. Place avocado strips next to the salmon.

Step 9

Carefully roll the sushi into a tight cylinder using the bamboo mat to help, making sure the ingredients stay in place.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the second roll.

Step 11

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 12

Arrange the spicy salmon rolls on a serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Step 13

Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping.
