Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 8 ounces Salmon fillet, sushi-grade
- 1 large Avocado
- as needed for serving Soy sauce
- as needed for serving Pickled ginger
- as needed for serving Wasabi
- 1 Bamboo sushi mat
- as needed Plastic wrap
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice using a wooden spoon. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap.
Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic-covered mat.
With damp fingers, gently spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Slice the sushi-grade salmon and the avocado into long, thin strips.
Place a few strips of salmon and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Unroll the mat and set the roll seam-side down.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets, rice, salmon, and avocado.
With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 even pieces, cleaning the blade with a damp cloth between cuts for optimum precision.
Serve the sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
