Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 pieces nori sheets
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 pieces radish
- 2 stalks green onion
Instructions
Begin by preparing the salmon. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillet skin side down into the pan.
Cook the salmon for about 3 minutes on one side, then gently flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Once the salmon has cooled slightly, flake it into bite-sized pieces and toss with the lemon mixture.
Prepare the vegetables by thinly slicing the cucumber, carrot, and radishes into strips (julienned style). Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut into thin slices. Chop the green onions into small pieces.
Lay one nori sheet shiny side down on a flat surface. Arrange some flaked salmon along one side of the sheet, approximately 2-3 cm from the edge.
Layer a combination of cucumber, carrot, radish, avocado slices, and green onions on top of the salmon.
Gently roll the nori sheet into a cone shape, starting from the filled side, and roll tightly to wrap the ingredients. Use a few grains of water to seal the end of the nori sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients to create three more salmon handrolls.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
