Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 200 grams Smoked salmon
• 200 grams Fresh salmon
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 0 to taste Soy sauce
• 0 to taste Wasabi
• 0 to taste Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine with 2 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until fully cooked.

Step 2

While the rice cooks, in a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

Step 3

Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a paddle or wooden spoon. Let the seasoned rice cool to room temperature, covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

Step 4

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut it into thin strips. Peel and cut the cucumber into similar thin strips.

Step 5

Thinly slice the fresh salmon into pieces suitable for topping.

Step 6

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on your work surface and place a piece of plastic wrap over it. Position a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Arrange strips of smoked salmon, avocado, and cucumber along the bottom edge of the rice.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat, roll the nori over the fillings, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until the rice fully encases the fillings, using the mat to help shape it.

Step 10

Top the sushi roll with slices of fresh salmon, applying slight pressure to adhere them to the rice.

Step 11

Use a sharp, moistened knife to slice the roll into 8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between slices for cleaner cuts.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create 4 rolls.

Step 13

Serve the Alaska Rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and garnishing.
