Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounces Fresh salmon fillet
• 1 medium Ripe avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 0 optional Gluten-free soy sauce
• 0 optional Pickled ginger
• 0 optional Wasabi

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Place the rinsed rice in a saucepan with 1.25 cups of water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a spatula. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Cut the salmon into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 9

Peel the cucumber and cut it into thin matchstick-sized pieces.

Step 10

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of plastic wrap over it. Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap.

Step 11

Moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking. Spread an even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the far side.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Use the bamboo mat to tightly roll the sushi away from you, applying firm but gentle pressure to form a compact roll. Seal the edge by slightly moistening it with water.

Step 14

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 15

Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 6-8 slices, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 16

Serve the salmon avocado rolls with gluten-free soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi, if desired.
