Begin by preparing the cucumber. Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
Slice the salmon or tuna into thin strips. Ensure your fillet is skinless and boneless for an easier slicing process.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap on top. Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap.
Arrange a layer of cucumber slices over the nori, leaving about an inch of nori exposed at the far end to seal the roll.
Layer slices of avocado, salmon or tuna, and about half of the cream cheese across the center of the cucumber strips lengthwise.
Carefully lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you and begin to roll the sushi tightly away from you, using the mat to help mold it into a compact log shape.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 1-inch pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp towel between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger, if desired.
