Start by preparing your vegetables. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin julienne strips. Slice the cucumber lengthwise, removing seeds, and cut into similarly thin strips. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice the flesh thinly.
Slice the sashimi-grade salmon into thin strips, ensuring they are about the same size as the cucumber and carrot for even rolling.
Prepare the wasabi by mixing the wasabi powder with a few drops of water to form a paste. Adjust to your desired consistency.
Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat covered with cling film.
Arrange slices of salmon, cucumber, carrot, and avocado across the lower third of the nori sheet, ensuring an even distribution.
Add a line of fish roe on top of the arranged ingredients, maintaining a balanced spread.
Lift the edge of the bamboo mat closest to you, and roll it away from you while gently but firmly pressing the ingredients to form a tight log. Continue rolling until the roll is completely enclosed.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, cut each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the blade with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Mix the coconut aminos, lime juice, and grated ginger in a small bowl to create a dipping sauce.
Serve the sushi rolls with the prepared dipping sauce and optional wasabi paste on the side.
