Start by preparing the salmon. Ensure the fillets are fresh and have been deboned. Slice the salmon into thin strips, about 1cm wide.
Peel the cucumber, then cut it into thin matchstick pieces, roughly the same length as the salmon strips.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice into thin strips.
Lay out a nori sheet with the shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over one third of the sheet.
Place a few slices of salmon, cucumber, and avocado on the cream cheese-covered end of the nori sheet.
Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the fillings to add brightness and prevent the avocado from browning.
Roll the nori around the fillings into a cone shape, starting from one corner and rolling towards the opposite side.
Seal the edge of the nori with a dab of water if needed to secure the cone shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
To serve, place each handroll on a plate and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Serve with small dishes of soy sauce, a dab of wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for additional flavor.
