Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sushi rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 1/3 cup Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Avocado
- 6 sheets Nori sheets
- for serving Soy sauce
- for serving Wasabi
- for serving Pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Combine the rinsed rice with 2.5 cups of water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, bring to a boil in a pot, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Pour the sushi vinegar over the rice and fold the rice with a wooden paddle until each grain is coated and shiny. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the salmon fillet with olive oil and season lightly with salt.
Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and easily flaked with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.
Peel and slice the avocado into thin strips.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and put one nori sheet on the mat, shiny side down.
With wet hands, spread about 3/4 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Flake some of the cooked salmon into pieces and place a line near the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori. Add a few strips of avocado beside it.
Lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you, rolling it over the filling, applying gentle pressure to shape the roll firmly. Continue rolling until the sushi roll is complete.
Use a sharp knife dampened with water to slice the roll into 6 even pieces.
Repeat with the remaining nori, rice, salmon, and avocado.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
