Begin by preparing the salmon. If you're using raw salmon, ensure it is sushi-grade. Slice the salmon into thin strips, about 1 cm wide.
Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips. Set aside.
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then into thin strips to match the avocado slices.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and rice vinegar to create a dipping sauce and set aside.
Gently heat the nori sheets over a stove flame or in a dry pan for about 10 seconds until they're lightly toasted. Be careful to avoid burning them.
To assemble, lay a nori sheet with the shiny side facing down. Horizontally spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto the lower left corner of the sheet, leaving a 1 cm margin on the edge.
Place a few strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber on top of the cream cheese.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper, and some sesame seeds over the filling.
Start rolling the nori from the filled corner towards the opposite corner, folding into a cone shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Serve immediately with the soy sauce and rice vinegar dipping sauce on the side.
