Ingredients

  • 50 g 1 2/3 fl oz Sashimi Grade Salmon

  • 1/2 1/2 avocado

  • 1 1 Seaweed Sheet (Nori)

  • 60 g 1/3 cup sushi rice

  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

  • 1/4 teaspoon 1/4 teaspoon sugar

  • 1 pinch 1 pinch salt

  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • 1/4 tablespoon 1/4 tablespoon Whole Egg Mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon Wasabi

Equipment

  • Bamboo sushi rolling mat
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small bowl
  • Spoon

Directions

  • Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and let it cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice to evenly season it.
  • Slice the sashimi-grade salmon into thick strips. Slice the avocado into even slices after removing the skin and stone.
  • Place the nori sheet on the bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 2 cm (3/4 inch) of the top edge free.
  • Spread a thin layer of whole egg mayonnaise over the rice. Add a small amount of wasabi along the center of the rice (adjust the amount according to your spice preference).
  • Lay the salmon strips and avocado slices horizontally across the middle of the rice.
  • Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the nori sheet tightly from the bottom, pressing gently but firmly to ensure the roll holds its shape. Roll until the free edge of the nori sheet seals the roll.
  • With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 even pieces. Serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • When spreading the rice on the nori sheet, wet your fingers with water to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands. This will make the process smoother and help you achieve an even layer of rice.
