Begin by peeling the cucumber, then cut it lengthwise into thin strips approximately 4 inches long. Repeat with the avocado, halving, pitting, and slicing it into thin strips.
Slice the sashimi-grade fish into thin pieces, ensuring they are even in size to allow for easier rolling.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down.
Spread an even layer of cream cheese over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top border.
Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and fish on the cream cheese layer, about one-third of the way up from the bottom of the nori sheet.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the filling to add some extra flavor and texture.
Starting from the bottom, use the bamboo mat to tightly roll the sushi, carefully lifting the edge of the mat up and over the filling, pressing gently to secure the roll as you go.
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Serve the rolls with a side of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), a dollop of wasabi, and pickled ginger for garnish.
