Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Salmon fillet
- 1 Avocado
- 1 Cucumber
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 4 Nori sheets
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the filling. Cut the salmon fillet into thin strips, roughly 1 cm wide. Set aside.
2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin strips.
3. Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds, and slice into thin strips similar in size to the salmon and avocado.
4. Lay one nori sheet on a clean, dry surface or sushi mat. Spread 25 grams of cream cheese evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 2 cm border at the top edge.
5. Arrange a few strips of salmon, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the center of the nori.
6. With lightly moistened fingers, gently lift the edge of the nori sheet closest to you and begin to roll it over the filling, pressing gently to keep the roll tight and compact.
7. Continue rolling until you reach the top border of the nori. Lightly moisten the border to seal the roll.
8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 with the remaining ingredients to create three more rolls.
9. Use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 6 to 8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
10. Serve the sushi rolls with small bowls of low sodium soy sauce, a dab of wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side.
