Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 200 grams Fresh Salmon
- 1 medium Avocado
- 50 grams Cream Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi (optional)
- 30 grams Pickled Ginger (optional)
- 2 sheets Nori Sheets
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cucumber. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to cut the cucumber lengthwise into thin, even slices. Set the slices aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Take the fresh salmon and ensure there are no bones. Slice the salmon into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and slice it into thin strips.
Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of plastic wrap over it.
On top of the plastic wrap, place one nori sheet. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over the nori sheet.
Arrange the cucumber slices lengthwise on the nori, slightly overlapping to cover fully.
Next, layer the salmon strips and avocado slices evenly over the cucumber.
Carefully, using the sushi mat and plastic wrap, roll the nori sheet tightly, making sure all the ingredients are enclosed.
Once rolled, sprinkle sesame seeds over the roll for added flavor and texture.
Slice the roll into evenly sized pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.
Serve the rolls on a platter with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping and garnish.
