Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Salmon, sashimi-grade
- 1 piece Avocado
- 1 piece Cucumber
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low-sodium
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
- 2 tablespoons Peeled pickled ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the fillings: slice the salmon into thin strips approximately 1cm wide. Next, halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut it into strips. Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into thin julienne strips.
On a clean, dry surface, place a sheet of nori, glossy side down. Ensure your hands are dry when handling nori to avoid tearing.
Spread about 25 grams of cream cheese evenly over the bottom half of the nori sheet. This will act as a flavorful binder.
Lay a few strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber in a line about 3cm from the bottom of the nori. Add a small amount of wasabi along the filling if desired, being mindful of its strength.
Carefully lift the bottom edge of the nori and roll it over the filling tightly. Use gentle pressure to ensure the roll is compact, but be careful not to tear the nori.
Continue rolling until you reach the top edge. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6 equal pieces. If the knife sticks, clean it after each cut and slightly moisten the blade.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings to make a total of four rolls.
Arrange the sushi pieces on a serving platter. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if desired. Serve with low-sodium soy sauce, pickled ginger, and additional wasabi for dipping.
