Salmon Sushi Rolls
Created by: Vlada Stefanovic
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1/2 pound fresh salmon, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Soy sauce, for serving
- Pickled ginger, for serving
- Wasabi, for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Fold the vinegar mixture into the cooked rice, then let it cool to room temperature.
- Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down. Moisten your hands with water and spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Lay a few slices of salmon, cucumber, and avocado in the center of the rice.
- Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to tighten the roll. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 pieces. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
