Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 pound Fresh salmon
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 piece Avocado
- 1 piece Cucumber
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
Instructions
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and let it cool slightly. Stir in the vinegar mixture and allow the rice to cool completely.
While the rice is cooling, prepare the salmon by cutting 0.5 pounds of fresh salmon into thin strips. Marinate the salmon in 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce for about 10 minutes.
Peel, pit, and slice 1 avocado into thin strips. Cut 1 cucumber into thin matchsticks. Chop 2 scallions into thin slices.
Toast 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat until golden, then set aside.
Lay a nori sheet on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of cooled sushi rice over two-thirds of the nori, leaving the top third empty.
Place a few strips of marinated salmon, avocado, cucumber, and scallions diagonally across the rice.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Add a small amount of wasabi if desired.
Starting at the bottom corner, roll the nori over the filling into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a few grains of rice.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets.
Serve immediately for maximum freshness and enjoy your heart-healthy salmon handrolls.
