Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces salmon fillet
• 1 large avocado
• 4 full-size nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 bamboo sushi mat

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice 2-3 times until the water runs clear, then drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Slowly fold in the vinegar mixture with a spatula using a cutting and folding motion.

Step 5

Allow the rice to cool to room temperature, covered with a damp towel to avoid drying out.

Step 6

Slice the salmon and avocado into thin strips about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to make the spicy mayonnaise.

Step 8

Place a sheet of nori on the bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.

Step 9

Wet your hands with water and evenly spread 1/4 of the sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.

Step 10

Sprinkle a portion of sesame seeds over the rice.

Step 11

Place salmon, avocado, and a line of spicy mayonnaise across the center of the rice-covered nori.

Step 12

Lift the edge of the bamboo mat nearest to you and roll it over the filling, pressing gently to shape it into a cylinder.

Step 13

Continue to roll until reaching the nori border. Use a little water to seal the edge.

Step 14

Using a sharp chef's knife, slice the roll into 8 pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts.

Step 15

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the additional rolls.

Step 16

Serve the spicy salmon sushi rolls with additional soy sauce and wasabi, if desired.
