Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Fresh salmon fillet
• 1 medium Avocado
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 4 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 50 grams Pickled ginger
• 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions. Alternatively, use a saucepan over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Let the rice rest for 10 minutes off the heat.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Gradually fold the vinegar mixture into the rice using a wooden spatula, while fanning the rice to help it cool. Cover the rice with a damp cloth and set aside.

Step 5

Slice the salmon into thin strips and peel and slice the avocado into similar-sized strips.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread about 1/4 of the prepared sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 8

Place a few strips of salmon and avocado across the center of the rice.

Step 9

Use the bamboo mat to firmly roll the nori over the filling, applying gentle pressure. Continue rolling to form a tight roll and seal by moistening the top border with a little water.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create additional rolls.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife wetted with water, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 12

Sprinkle the sliced sushi rolls with sesame seeds.

Step 13

Serve the gluten-free salmon avocado sushi with gluten-free soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi paste.
