Prepare your workspace by laying out a bamboo sushi mat. If you don't have a sushi mat, you can use a clean kitchen towel.
Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on the mat.
Using a spoon, spread 25 grams of cream cheese over the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving about an inch at the top edge for sealing.
Peel and pit the avocados. Slice the flesh into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin strips similar in length to the avocado slices.
Arrange slices of cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon in a horizontal line across the cream cheese-covered part of the nori.
Using the mat as a guide, roll the nori over the fillings tightly while keeping the roll compact. Continue rolling until the seam is underneath.
Use a little water on your fingertips to help seal the open edge of the nori.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the roll, pressing gently so they adhere to the surface.
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife with a damp towel between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Serve the rolls with soy sauce or tamari, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
