Begin by preparing the sushi rice. Mix the rice vinegar and stevia (or sweetener of choice) with the warm cooked sushi rice. Gently fold to combine and set aside to cool.
While the rice cools, slice the fresh salmon fillet against the grain into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into long, thin matchstick slices.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice into thin strips.
Slice the scallions finely, separating the white and green parts.
Lay out a sheet of nori shiny side down. On one side, spread 50g of cooled sushi rice thinly across half the sheet.
Arrange a few pieces of sliced salmon, cucumber, avocado, scallions (both white and green parts), and a small amount of wasabi paste on top of the rice.
Roll the nori into a cone shape, starting from the lower corner and rolling upwards, creating a hand-roll.
Seal the edge of the nori with a splash of water if necessary to hold it together.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
Serve the hand rolls immediately with soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side.
