Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1.25 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams sea bass fillet
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 0.5 medium avocado
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 sheets seaweed sheets (nori)
- 50 grams salmon roe
- 2 sprigs fresh dill
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Slice the sea bass fillet into long strips, about 1 cm thick. Set aside.
Peel and slice the cucumber and avocado into thin strips.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil and lemon juice. Brush this mixture over the sea bass slices.
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet fingers, spread a thin, even layer of cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange strips of sea bass, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice.
Roll the sushi tightly but gently, using the mat to form a cylinder and seal the edge with water.
Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into 8 equal pieces.
Top each sushi piece with a small dollop of salmon roe and a sprig of fresh dill.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create 4 rolls total.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Classic Fish and Roe Sushi Rolls fresh with soy sauce or tamari and wasabi on the side.
