Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Salmon fillet, sushi-grade
- 1 cup Brown rice, cooked and cooled
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 small Avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 small Cucumber, julienned
- 1 small Carrot, julienned
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing the salmon. Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon fillet into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cooked brown rice with rice vinegar. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients carefully until well combined. This will season the rice.
Prepare your veggies by julienning the cucumber and carrot. Set these aside along with the avocado slices.
Take one nori sheet and cut it in half with a pair of scissors. You will have two rectangles.
Place the nori sheet with the shiny side down on a clean surface. Spread about two tablespoons of seasoned brown rice across one half of the nori.
Layer a slice of salmon diagonally over the rice, add a few slices of avocado, some julienned cucumber, and carrot.
Drizzle a small amount (about 1/2 teaspoon) of lemon juice over the filling, and sprinkle some fresh dill and sesame seeds on top.
To roll the hand roll, start at the bottom right corner and fold the nori over the filling to form a cone shape, pressing gently to seal.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create four hand rolls.
Serve your heart-healthy salmon hand rolls with a side of low-sodium soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy immediately for best freshness.
