Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sushi rice
• 2 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 8 ounces Fresh salmon
• 1 large Ripe avocado
• 0 for serving Soy sauce
• 0 for serving Pickled ginger
• 0 for serving Wasabi
• 0 optional Bamboo sushi rolling mat
• 0 Plastic wrap

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the rice from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, stir together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a large wooden or non-metallic bowl and drizzle the vinegar mixture over it. Use a wooden spatula to gently fold the rice, being careful not to smash it. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 6

While the rice cools, prepare the fillings. Slice the fresh salmon and avocado into long, thin strips.

Step 7

Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat covered with plastic wrap.

Step 8

Wet your hands with water to keep the rice from sticking, then take about 3/4 cup of the sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Lay a few salmon slices and avocado strips horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 10

Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and gently roll it over the filling, applying gentle pressure to form a tight cylinder.

Step 11

Continue rolling the sushi until you reach the top border of the nori. Dampen the nori edge with water to seal the roll.

Step 12

Remove the sushi roll from the mat and use a sharp knife to slice it into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 13

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
