1. Begin by slicing the fresh salmon fillet into thin strips, about 1 cm wide and 5-6 cm long. Set aside.
2. Peel and remove the seeds from the cucumber, then cut into similar-sized strips as the salmon.
3. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin strips.
4. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with a tablespoon of rice vinegar and a pinch of salt until smooth.
5. Prepare a clean working surface and lay out the nori sheets, shiny side down.
6. Spread about a quarter of the cream cheese mixture across the bottom third of each nori sheet.
7. Place equal portions of salmon, cucumber, and avocado on top of the cream cheese.
8. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds over the fillings for added texture.
9. To assemble the hand rolls, take the bottom left corner of the nori sheet and fold it over the filling towards the opposite corner to form a cone shape. Roll lightly but firmly to secure.
10. Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi paste on the side for dipping. Optionally, sprinkle more sesame seeds on top for garnish.
