Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 large Orange
• 0 optional Soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine it with 1.5 cups of water in a rice cooker or saucepan.

Step 2

Cook the rice according to your rice cooker instructions or simmer on the stove with the lid tightly covered for about 20 minutes, until all the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently stir in rice vinegar and salt. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

While the rice is cooling, prepare the fillings: slice the salmon into thin strips, julienne the cucumber and avocado, and peel and segment the orange.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread about a quarter of the prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 6

Place a few slices of salmon, cucumber, and avocado along the center of the rice.

Step 7

Using the bamboo mat, lift the edge of the nori closest to you and begin to roll it over the filling, pressing gently to shape the roll.

Step 8

Continue rolling until the fillings are completely enclosed and the sushi roll is sealed. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four rolls.

Step 9

With a sharp knife, slice each sushi roll into 6 to 8 pieces.

Step 10

Top each sushi piece with a segment of orange for a burst of natural sweetness.

Step 11

Serve the sushi immediately with soy sauce on the side.
